I found the most adorable shop. I can’t remember how I found it, but all I know is that I found Simply Anandi. It turns out that they are a local business – well, local to me here in Michigan! I don’t know what to say about them that can’t be better described than pictures, so take a look here:
I asked her how business got started, and I thought the story was very cool, so I wanted to share it with you as well. I love it when families are in business together!
“I actually do the business with my mom, and two sisters! We all make different things that contribute to “simply anandi” but I am the only one who makes the shoes! The Pink flowers on the cheetah peep-toe shoes are made by my sister…sometimes she makes them so they are interchangeable flowers to add to your hair or shoes!”
They are just starting an etsy shop as well, so be sure to check that out too!
