BARRE'LETIXX LLC
STERLING HEIGHTS, MI

With its smooth, sleek design, Element 14 allows you to perform to extreme levels in class and challenge yourself unlike any other product on the market. They give your feet the comfort they deserve, the support they need and the breathability you and I both want, trust me! When it came to choosing a special name and logo for these revolutionary shoes, I was immediately inspired by both the Dragon and the Dragonfly. The Dragon and the Dragonfly are an intricate part of my existence, and they are in every aspect of my life, including my family, company and the Barre workout itself. When it came to choosing a name for the company, I wanted to incorporate Barre, my son’s name Xander and the two opposing X’s in my zodiac sign. I am happy that barre’letixx perfectly reflects the company’s purpose, innovation, spirituality and empowerment. The secret of DES Group’s success is vision, longevity, “Made in the USA” products, supply partner relationships and automotive industry knowledge. With over 30 years of experience working with Tier 1’s and OEM’s, the skill sets acquired helped to create the foundation of the DES Group. DES Group thrives in design, engineering, tooling, corporate and product creation, as well as full-service supply chain management. barre’letixx started as an “idea of a product” in March 2017, and by December 2017 will have produced products “Made in the USA”, such as the Element 14 shoes and yoga sportswear. Networking with supply chain partners and other long-term automotive relationships, allowed these Detroiters to build and launch barre’letixx within 9 months.
