However, this afternoon Rentelov has hit a very big milestone! One of our Mod Bouffant Scrub Caps will be handmade and shipped internationally to England in the United Kingdom! It's official! We have made it over the "pond!" This is such a big moment that has been celebrated in our household today. We are beyond grateful for everyone who has supported our small business endeavors to provide coverage to healthcare workers all over Ohio, then all over the United States, and now officially all over the WORLD! Our dreams are coming true and it wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for all of you. Thank you for supporting Rentelov!
