My ICase

A Luxury iPhone case, Accessories, & Clothes Brand by Diploma of Marketing and Communication student; Jaqueline Oliveira da Costa Dambros

“When I first started, I didn’t imagine it would grow this much. It all began with one product sold on Facebook. Then I moved to a basic setup at the Car Boot Sale in Carrara Markets. After that came a small shop, and today we have two full stores, both located at Carrara Markets.
My ICase wants to help women feel confident, beautiful, and empowered through fashion. We offer clothes, accessories, and everything a woman needs to express her style and embrace her beauty.”
My ICase – Located at the Carrara Markets, Gold Coast
