GIGI*S SHOES COMPLEMENT ANY OUTFIT WITH ONE SIMPLE STRAP CHANGE

One shoe…endless fun!

 

Miami, FL – What little girl wouldn’t love to have a pair of dress shoes that she can accessorize with everything in her closet?!  Whether she’s sporting a funky fuchsia sundress, a bold black jumper, attending a special event such as a wedding, taking a vacation, or just trying to make a clothing statement at school, Gigi*s has just what every girl needs to jazz up any outfit.  Gigi*s line of comfy, fun and colorful shoes with dazzling interchangeable straps are sure to make Gigi wearers the envy of all their friends.

Gigi*s are the first line of footwear that can be customized with one simple strap change, offering a unique variation to the popular Mary Jane style.  The first design of the expanding collection features Mary Jane shoes in nine warm and vivid Fall/Winter colors including: Antique Brown, Dark Red Patent, Dark Brown Patent, Black Nubok, Dark Pink Fuchsia, Brown Cheetah, Purple, Gold, and Silver with approximately 300 strap styles to customize the basic shoes.  Straps are available in a wide variety of designs including sequins, glitter, flowers, holidays, and a collection of furry friends.  There is even a new bridal collection of classic Mary Jane shoes in a variety of whites (that can also be dyed) with interchangeable straps so that flower girls and junior bridesmaids can complement the wedding party’s colors.  Plus, they can change the strap after the wedding to coordinate other dresses.   Thanks to this extensive range, parents now have the added convenience of matching one pair of shoes with multiple outfits at home or while traveling. 

“My wife and I came up with the concept of Gigi*s shoes when our daughter’s new dress for a wedding didn’t quite match her ‘matching’ shoes,” explains co-creator Ariel Rubalcava.  We quickly designed a costume strap and she loved the new look. We instantly knew these shoes would be perfect for little girls who love to accessorize, play dress-up, or add a little pizzazz to a typically basic dress shoe.  After all, what little girl doesn’t love that?”

Gigi*s shoes are durable and comfortable, allowing active girls hours of playtime without worrying about blisters and sore feet.  The inside sole is cushioned for comfort and support, and the backing is made of soft leather that doesn’t dig into the heel.  The non-skid rubber sole helps prevent scuff marks on clean floors.

“These shoes are more than just cool collectibles for girls,” adds Rubalcava.  “Parents can be reassured in knowing that Gigi*s shoes were designed by parents looking to provide something sturdy, comfy, functional and stylish for their own daughter.  Girls and moms alike find that Gigi*s are comfortable, versatile and appealing.  But more importantly, they agree that Gigi*s are fun to wear any day of the year.”

Gigi*s handmade changeable straps attach to shoes through a sturdy silver ring to ensure that shoes stay on their feet.  A Velcro backing makes it simple for girls to put on and take off their shoes or switch the strap to create a new look.  Straps are available in four sizes, guaranteeing that all designs are available for every girl aged 4- 10, no matter her shoe size.   

Additionally, Gigi*s is currently working with several children’s clothing lines to complement their collections with unique designs. In addition to new straps, Gigi*s will also grow to include other shoe styles, such as modified tennis shoes and sandals.

About Gigi*s

Gigi*s was created by Rita Hernandez and Ariel Rubalcava, veterans of the entertainment industry who were looking for a way to utilize their creativity while spending more time with their daughter (nicknamed “Gigi” of course!).  This husband-and-wife team was inspired by their daughter to create the first line of footwear that could be customized for an entire wardrobe with one simple strap change.  Now little girls who love to accessorize and play dress-up can transform plain-Jane Mary Janes into a colorful, unique shoe that matches any outfit – or just adds that must-have bit of sparkle.
