Jibbitz Launches Accessory Line to Personalize Crocs

Filed under category: Wearables

Jibbitz Launches Accessory Line to Personalize CrocsThousands of people who own lightweight, waterproof clogs such as Crocs, can now personalize their shoes with Jibbitz. Jibbitz are handmade accessories that come in different shapes and sizes with designs such as silk flowers, colored stones, yin yang and peace symbols, sports gear, American flags, happy faces, and words such as "Love," "Be Happy," and more. Jibbitz snap into the holes of waterproof clogs and are easily interchangeable.

Sheri Schmelzer, owner and creator of Jibbitz, started the business in her basement with a few Jibbitz designs for her kids and their friends, and Jibbitz have become so popular that it is now a growing business with more than 200 designs available on the Web site. Jibbitz are currently sold only through www.jibbitz.com, but Schmelzer has plans to expand into retail stores late this year. Can't wait!

I just discovered Jibbitz and I love them. My daughter who is three has them on her crocs and I think it is a great way to make any color croc coordinate with multiple outfits. What a great idea you came up with. The only thing I would suggest is a better way for them to attach because they have a tendency to come apart and there is a risk of losing the top.
