We love Jibbitz, and the story behind them!
We love all of our stock, but there are some things that we love for more than the fact that they look great and make your kids look cool. Jibbitz is one line of stock that we also love for the great story behind it.
What are Jibbitz?
Jibbitz are funky little decorative buttons that fit into the holes of Crocs, to make sure that your child has a completely unique pair of Crocs!
Batman, flowers, Dora, Backyardigans and more have been immortalised as fantastic Jibbitz, with more being released all the time.
So what's the story?
Sheri Schmelzer started the Jibbitz brand from her basement, selling each Jibbitz for $2.49, and soon struggled to cope with demand. Who would have thought that such a simple idea could have caught on so quickly?
Her husband Rich soon came on board too, and very shortly after, the Schmelzers had their first distribution deal with the well known 'Clare's' outlet, selling approximately 750 THOUSAND Jibbitz. That's a lot of $2.49s! (Incidentally we sell them for 99p each!)
To cut a long story short, Crocs soon found out how popular these little additions were, and bought the company for a rather nice $10 million, with another £10m in the pipeline if targets are met in the future.
$20 million for something started in a basement - not bad eh?
