I would like to ask you some questions

What were you thinking when you started the company?

If you could choose another job what would you be? And why?

i think that the idea of selling shoes is a good idea. But where do you get the designs from? Who's idea was it?

I agree with her because all the girl shoes that are pink are ugly and fluffy and boy shoes are cool.

I think making cruelty-free shoes is a fantastic idea! I feel the same way about the shoes. They always have the pink shoe for girls that I don’t like, and most of the time I would buy boys shoes in a small size as well.

Hi Anna, thanks for the response. I found PETA's site contradictory so I did some other investigating and came up with very similar arguments as PETA. The following website (http://www.idausa.org/facts/leatherfacts.html) states that if the cattle industry only sold meat alone they would not survive without the sale of leather. Then in another paragraph it says "Most leather comes from cattle who are slaughtered for meat, worn-out dairy cows who no longer produce enough milk to be profitable, and veal calves whose soft skin is particularly valuable." Well if most leather comes from cattle who are slaughtered for meat and worn out dairy cows then how can leather not be a by product of meat? It seems like the consumption of beef is the problem if we want to be cruelty free.

Ah the word boutique means it's way out of my league! I would love to support shops like yours and Una's but I don't have that type of money to spend. Best of luck to you and your store!

Ona, We are a 7th grade Current Events class in Kansas and have a few questions for you:

1-Where do you get your design ideas?

2-Where did you get your company's name?

3-How much do you make off of your shoes in a month?

Thank you!
