Hippos Toes is an online Children’s Boutique that carries Fair Trade clothing that is comfortable and durable.
Carole, the Owner of Hippos Toes is proud to announce her official launch of her online boutique on October 9, 2008. The following are excerpts from the press release.
Woodbridge, VA (October 2008)-Supporting South African women towards economic independence while providing quality boutique children’s clothing are the premises of Hippos Toes online children’s boutique, which announced its Grand Opening this month-(http://www.hippostoes.com).
Hippos Toes owner, Carole Lindstrom wanted to combine her plans for a children’s boutique with her desire to help South African women gain a footing towards financial independence. Having toured South Africa several times-and feeling a connection to the women there- Lindstrom saw first hand how difficult it was for women to rise above impoverishment. “I really felt for the locally disadvantaged mothers trying to raise families with limited income opportunities.” Lindstrom stated.
With it’s Grand Opening this month, Hippos Toes showcases the latest children’s boutique fashions, created and designed by South African mother artisans. Original styles, whimsical colors and nature themes set a trendy fashion-forward tone which Lindstrom feels sets Hippos Toes children’s fashions apart. “The clothing is really unique,” Lindstrom stated. “The designers change lines every season yet everything stays mix-and-match. It makes for easy, complete wardrobes.”
