How Caroline Blanck, Founder of Mandy, is redefining the male-dominated tool industry

SAG HARBOR, N.Y., Oct. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Caroline Blanck believes that every woman can do-it-herself with the right tools, which is why she recently launched Mandy. Mandy was created to revolutionize the male-dominated tool industry through the creation of DIY tools specifically designed for women and was born out of her frustration with the lack of stylish, functional tools for women. "I wanted to create something that made women feel confident and excited about taking on home projects," said Blanck. "Mandy is about giving women the tools—literally and figuratively—to create spaces they love without sacrificing style or practicality."

As young women move frequently and make the most of small spaces, the Hot Girl Toolkit, Mandy's flagship product, offers a solution that is both beautiful and functional, proving that style and capability can go hand in hand. Each pink toolkit includes seven essential tools in a special custom table book for easy storage to help women bring their DIY projects to life. Mandy's vision is to build a world where women don't have to choose between being feminine and being capable, bringing a new perspective to the DIY industry.

"Mandy is not just a brand, it's a movement. We are here to redefine what it means to be handy and to ensure that every woman has the tools and knowledge to turn their desire into reality."

Leveraging AI to Empower Women

The company is also leveraging emerging technology through the Mandy Toolbot, an AI-powered chatbot designed to answer questions and help women tackle any DIY project, including questions about décor and handy tips on how best to create and build projects to improve your home environment.
