Maggie Sinclair is a serial entrepreneur who has numerous patents. She is a designer and inventor of Maggies, a powerful magnet and metal ring that is redefining the way that women wear scarves and shawls.
I wanted to talk to Maggie because she has created a wide variety of products and she has a wealth of knowledge about what it takes to be successful as an entrepreneur.
Maggie says, "Faced with the dilemma of how to wear a sarong, I knew that there had to be a better way to secure fabric without tying bulky knots. I decided to experiment with magnets and found that a ball magnet combined with a metal ring provided the perfect solution to replace the safety pin (invented in 1849). In December 2012 I filed for my 8th US Patent which was finally granted in April 2016."
