SwitchFlops

Lindsay Phillips - you can call her Lulu. - is the energetic inspiration and founding force behind switchflops®.  Switchflops® evolved out of one of Lindsay's high school art projects.   The ceramic sandals with straps adorned with various Florida fare attracted attention from all who saw them.   Everyone wanted to know where to buy a pair, and was disappointed to learn that the shoes were not functional.

Lindsay began designing flip flops with different fun straps and came upon the idea of using Velcro® to allow different straps to be placed on the same sandal. She spent her college years perfecting her patented design concept of an interchangeable strap for flip flops, which is revolutionizing the fashion footwear industry.   Lindsay honed her design, merchandising, and manufacturing skills working summers at Polo Ralph Lauren's leather goods division in New York City while starting her own business.

The business and design prodigy founded her company, Lulu Design, Inc., in 2004.  Switchflops® made its retail debut in January, 2007 at the Surf Expo Trade show in Orlando, Florida where it was showcased as a new and innovative product.   Her mother, Liz, joined forces with Lindsay to help manage the rapid growth of the company.   This dynamic duo continues to guide Lulu Design, Inc. and remains devoted to introducing new concepts in fashion design. Switchflops® are available for purchase at numerous retail outlets and on the web at The Beadcage Gifts Online Store.
