In 2009, while I was on vacation, my children were desperate for some fishing nets. After looking at one store after another - I was just about to give up when I decided to check the last shop. I wandered in, and just like the previous five stores before, there wasn't one single fishing rod. Just as I was about to walk out, I noticed these beautiful jeweled sandals right at the back. Like any good mother - I instantly forgot about the fishing rods and headed to check the shoes out!

I had never heard of Grandco Sandals, but I loved all the jewels and beads on these cute sandals. I had to purchase a pair! I chose ones with colorful marble stones knowing they would match just about any of my summer outfits. The next day we were heading out on an all-day adventure with our children. I wore my new beaded sandals – wondering if I would regret it halfway through the day! I was stunned after wearing them all day; they felt as comfortable as when I first put them on that morning!

Finally, I had found a jeweled sandal range that are: Affordable, Comfortable, and Complimented my outfits and they didn't need to be broken in.

The very next day, I headed back to the store to purchase a few more pairs but was disappointed to find only one other style in my size. Once I got back home, friends commented on my beaded sandals and asked me where I had purchased them? When I looked for Grandco Sandal retailers, the only places I found these cute jeweled sandals were online with high shipping costs and rarely in my size.

What is a girl to do? I decided there was space in the online world for someone to bring Grandco Sandals and other trendy accessories to fashionable ladies everywhere. The Accessory Barn was opening for business! My previous work experience had been banking and stockbroking – one thing I took from my years in the financial world was – CUSTOMER SERVICE! I knew if I was to succeed, I needed to stand out from the crowd. I want every customer that shops with The Accessory Barn to be delighted.
