Problem
1 in 5 people have asthma or allergies
Statistics show exponential growth in the $600B fragmented market segment for hypoallergenic and wellness products—with $10B just for hypoallergenic products.
Growth rates for eco-friendly products and wellness market are expected to increase by 50% YoY.
A go-to hypoallergenic brand is needed with multiple category coverage for every segment of home—from 'foundation to furnishings', from textiles to home decor.
Sleeping takes one-third of our lives—and those with allergies need affordable hypoallergenic textiles: bed pillows, comforters, and 'clean design' down-alternative options.
Traditional real estate building methods are inefficient—our modular building tech designs increase ROI for development.
Solution
An all-in-one Lifestyle Brand:
A BLUE EGG CORPORATION
Our family of brands has diversification of categories, allowing revenue from multiple channels: retail, licensing, and real estate. Investor contributions will be at the holding company level, which is called A Blue Egg Corporation—allowing investors to receive benefit of revenue from three divisions of the company.
Our brands already generate revenue. We are positioned to be a leader for the eco-conscious and hypoallergenic consumer (B2C) and hospitality client (B2B) for textiles, case goods, and tableware, and other categories.

Founder and timeline
This New York City-based conglomerate is bootstrapped by Robin Wilson, an entrepreneur with a 20-year track record and who has authenticity due to allergies and asthma since childhood.
In 2000, she became an entrepreneur and by 2006, she launched the eponymous Robin Wilson Home. By 2008, she licensed the brand to custom cabinetry (revenue generated was over $82M, wholesale) sold at 400 independent cabinetry dealers; and branded textiles sold at retailers such as Bed Bath & Beyond.
After the publication of her best-selling book, Clean Design: Wellness for your Lifestyle (Greenleaf, 2015), the brand gained a strong consumer following.
During the 2020 pandemic, the firm pivoted to create a timeless trademarked brand, CLEAN DESIGN HOME™—which has potential for multi-product category options with licensing and private label.
Highlights since launch:
- Licensed textiles to West Point Home, backed by Carl Icahn; launching at Macy's, QVC, Belks and in UK/Japan markets
- Hospitality client contract for design and textile procurement
- ELLEN launched brand on TV for holiday giveaways (Dec 2020)
- INC magazine selected Robin Wilson as one of the "Top 100 Female Founders" (2020)
- AMAZON created CLEAN DESIGN HOME™ store as part of an entrepreneur incubator
- TV production pilot currently in review for major network
- Real estate equity fund will allow us to partner in developments to showcase our entire product line in model homes

Tapping into the multi-billion hypo-allergenic market
Industry analysis
- The bedroom linen segment led the global market with a value of USD $32.13B in 2018. Bedspreads, blankets, and cushion and cushion covers were the highest selling products, which helped the segment maintain the dominant position in the market.
The bathroom linen segment is expected to register fastest CAGR of 5.02% over forecast period.
The global Home Textile market size is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.9% in the forecast period of 2021 to 2025, reaching USD $174B by 2025 (from USD $155.5B in 2021).
According to McKinsey, “We estimate the global wellness market at more than $1.5 trillion, with annual growth of 5 to 10 percent. A rise in both consumer interest and purchasing power presents tremendous opportunities for companies, particularly as spending on personal wellness
rebounds after stagnating or even declining during the COVID-19 crisis. At the same time, the wellness market is getting increasingly crowded, creating the need to be strategic about where and how companies compete.”
Our brands are poised to lead in hypoallergenic market
Wellness market is estimated to grow to $1.5T globally until 2025.
North America dominated the home textiles market with a share of 43.1% in 2019.
We can tap into the wellness market with authenticity
Companies should understand that wellness consumers are not a monolithic bloc with lockstep preferences. Our survey showed that they tend to fall into distinct groups that behave very differently.
Wellness enthusiasts are high-income consumers who actively follow brands on social media, track new-product launches, and are excited about innovations.
The socially responsible prefer (and are willing to pay more for) brands that are environmentally sustainable and with clean/natural ingredients. Price-conscious consumers believe wellness products are important but meticulously compare features and benefits before purchasing to get the best deal.
