Currently, Sheri says they're focused on building the brand and coming up with new products. Soon, Jibbitz will launch a line of wristbands, hats, belts and purses. Although Sheri's swamped at work, she still manages to be home with her children before school and when they get home each afternoon. What does Lexie think of her parents' sudden success? In , Marsha, a stay-at-home mother of two, says her life was shattered. She was divorced, her car was repossessed, her home was in foreclosure and she had nowhere to turn.
Almost overnight, Marsha says she was forced to come up with a way to support herself and her children, Cindy and Brad. One day, Marsha noticed a scrap metal truck parked at a local gas station and got an idea. Although Marsha didn't know a thing about the scrap metal business, she says she thought if the man driving the truck could do it, then she could do it.
Marsha began visiting scrap metal yards, where workers laughed and told her women didn't collect scrap metal. But nothing deterred this desperate mom. Everything had value. She worked around the clock to put food on the table and pay the bills. Most men thought, 'You can't stay in this business.
You'll never make it. When Marsha first started out, she says men would surround her truck and yell obscenities as she loaded car batteries and iron pipes.
Their taunts backfired. Marsha says the obstacles she faced only made her stronger. The more they underestimated [me], the harder I worked. Moms across America are turning brilliant ideas into big business. Not all moms are making millions, but most say coming up with creative ideas, being able to work from home and making money gives them a sense of pride. For the creators who sell Jibbitz on their own, the charms are a more affordable way to show off their designs, especially when everyone wants to be at home and comfy.
Carley Holtsinger, who designs under the brand Sparkle Diva , received her first pair of Crocs for her birthday this year and got hooked. They sit atop the shoe and result in something like a disco ball effect or like seeing dangly earrings on someone, drawing your eye to them. She considers her Jibbitz a niche product, really only for people who are willing to make noise with beaded pom-poms and draw even more attention to their Crocs.
A post shared by Accessorized Crocs! Korn says Crocs reached out almost immediately to discuss a possible collaboration. These designers, who focus on creating handmade charms to go in the shoes, join a legion of creators on both Instagram and Etsy who sell fully formed Crocs with pre-made plastic charms that more align with the bubbly style Crocs created. Jadyn Taylor, a year-old in Georgia, has gained over 12, followers on Instagram since June, under the name Cozy Creationz, selling assembled Crocs.
She orders the shoes from China, charms from various places online, rhinestones from Amazon, and puts it all together to make the shoes sparkle. The pandemic no doubt helped propel Crocs to newer, cooler heights.

Jibbitz are extremely popular now, but very few people know the history of Jibbitz and how they became so popular. Jibbitz was founded by Rich Schmelzer who started the company with his wife. When he came home, he saw that it could be so much more than that. Watching his wife, he asked her if she could make more of what she had made. By the end of that summer, they not only had a website in place, but they had secured the money they needed to begin the growth of their company.
Instead of rushing the process and overgrowing, they kept their pace to make sure that Jibbitz could be the best that it could be and be the product that was what people desired. The Schmelzers had also decided not to launch into stores. At least not right away. Instead, they launched Jibbitz to the customers and understood that they needed the feedback. If they did something wrong or right, they wanted to know so that they could fix the problem at hand.
Once they fixed each problem and began gaining a more extensive customer base, they started doing trade shows and inbound calls from stores. As Jibbitz grew, the couple knew that they needed different designs.
By utilizing customer feedback and making a plethora of designs, the business continued to grow. Some of the initial themes that they had for shoe charms were the following. Through their innovation, more and more people started to wear Jibbitz and couples even began to wear matching shoes and charms on trips and events.
It was the perfect way to make fun memories with your loved ones while showing off your Crocs and Jibbitz shoe charms.
