Shoe Money was “born” March of 2007. Lori Riley made gifts for her mommy friends and they loved them and asked for more. She realized that she could sew, design and create around her children’s schedules and have a little money on the side (“shoe money”) for her favorite hobby: shoe shopping!
With a love of all things nostalgic, sock monkeys kept making their way into designs. A following of Sock Monkey Lovers developed, so now most designs include sock monkeys. All designs are made in Austin, TX by Lori and two seamstresses that have been with her for three years. This year a fellow at-home mom and neighbor will do all of the printing on tees and bodysuits.
This season new sock monkeys made their way into photo shoots and on bodysuits and tees. Take advice from these sock monkeys: see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil, find your inner diva, sing a happy tune, wrangle up some fun, dance and enjoy a bright future.
