It's interesting that you say that because they had never done this type of product before. And we were in Portugal and it was the end of our trip and we were just scratching our heads. No one could make it. And the man said, I'm sorry, back to the drawing board. And I said, no, I'm leaving tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. We need a working solution. I said, sorry, the factory's closed for the day.
It was 4.45. And I said, can you bring me a sock, glue? And I named the materials that I needed. And because I had made 100 by hand, it was sitting at a table with men. And I said, let me show you how I made them.
I mean, my hand was shaking. And he said, oh, let me help you with that. Like when I was cutting, I go, no, no, no. I just had a lot of coffee today. I wouldn't admit it, but it was all men and fashion. And I was this crazy, like, stay-at-home mom of four.
That was, like, rolling in, like, I want to make these shoes. And then, man, like, an older gentleman came up to me, probably, like, of your generation. Right. What kind of lady is going to wear these shoes?
I don't think I'm wearing a Saturday tie.
I wore them black tie, even I went to a 50th birthday shop. And I wore the black ones. And my partner in business and in life, Max Fetterbusch, he wore the black ones with his tux. And men have been wearing Venetian slippers, Belgian slippers with tuxes forever. Well, men much more so than women. And I said, this is like amazing. Like, oh, you're wearing slippers?
I'm wearing socks on, even more comfortable than a black tie. So I kind of like to do a tongue-in-cheek like that because what woman goes to a black tie? After the cocktail hour, my feet are killing a thing. I'm not comfortable. I don't feel like dancing. And then I think that's what it is. I think women have been uncomfortable.
And then men or whoever they're with wonder like, oh, why is she, you know, diva? Or why is she saying her toes hurt? Why does she need Advil? And it's like, no, we're just as fun as everyone else. But like, if you're uncomfortable, you're not going to have fun.
Yeah, exactly. If you're in the city and you wear a black miniskirt with black tights, cotton
cashmere or whatever tights and then you put the black on it's just the most seamless look right and so i think that's why we've done through our advertising and our marketing that we've done in the photo shoots is was really to explain to the client like how they're going to wear when they're going to wear it that's very good yeah because it's a new item it's a new item it has to be explained it has to be explained and visually because i don't think people read
Yeah. And it's women supporting other women. Women saying, no, that looks great. No, I'm going to wear it to the office with like big wide leg trousers and like a man's shirt tucked in. And then you wear this. It's just resetting sort of how you think of a sock or how you think of being exposed.
I mean, women wear everything under the sun, basically, you know, that are comfortable now, but with their chest and cleavage exposed, the people are like, oh. I don't want to show my socks, you know, that kind of education.
Thank you.
And it's just nice to have that, like to feel like you have a creativity.
But to be able to have an outlet for it, I think for any artist or creative, like to have a tangible expression of your creativity is like, it's mind blowing to me because I've never, I've never had that and I'm 45 years old. So it's been, that's been extremely fun. exciting. And I didn't anticipate that.
I love your questions. They're awesome. My children, I think always give their mothers a hard time and I don't for their parents in general. So I would say don't really know how they feel.
Like when they're at school and I think they're talking to their friends.
I hope that's my fantasy, but in the home, they want me to be their mom.
When I started working, they were like, can you finish all your calls by 3? And I said, sure. When you come over, are you going to hang out with me at 3? And they said, no, we just want to see you there. Interesting. And so I think it's been an adjustment for the four children because they have to.
So that they know that they can fail and it's still all right. And they'll come in the beginning. They were like, how many sales did you have today? Like that was their barometer as to whether it was successful or not. And at first,
