Sassy Slippers and Handbags to Launch New Product Lines

Sassy Slippers and Handbags, Hawaii's most sought after handcrafted flip-flop and handbag company announces new additions to its already successful line-up of footwear and purses. Sassy Slippers became a much sought after brand after appearances in Instyle, Bride, and Parents magazine, and also after being seen on the feet and arms of many of Hollywood's high fashion stars.

Maui, HI July 14, 2004 -- Sassy Slippers and Handbags recently came under new ownership. The new owner, Melany Stodelle says, "All of Sassy Slippers products will continue being handmade on Maui, Hawaii. We have found ways to improve the quality and lower prices all while keeping the highly successful look, reputation, and beauty that made Sassy Slippers famous."

Melany Stodelle has a background in Retail Sales and keeps current in the going-ons of the fashion world. "We plan on releasing several new floral designs, color patterns, and a few other secrets that I can't get into right now."

Sassy Slippers has a strong following. Started out as a necessity in the spa industry, Sassy Slippers quickly gained a following through its beautiful floral flip-flops (called "slippers" in Hawaii). "The shoes can be worn in the pool, the ocean, the sauna, you name it. They come out looking just as good as when they went in," says Stodelle. "I think our biggest compliments are how people are absolutely amazed at how these slippers can go through such extreme environments and still look beautiful and ready for a night on the town." Sassy Slippers are available in such floral choices as Orchid, Plumeria, Daisy, and Sunflowers as well as Silver and Red Rhinestones.

Sassy Slippers garnered national attention after being featured in magazines such as Instyle, Bride, and Parents as well as being presenter's gifts at the VH1 Diva Duets Concert. "Even Britney Spears bought herself a pair while here on Maui," boasts Stodelle. "It just makes us feel good since she could pretty much buy any brand out there, but she chose Sassy Slippers."

Sassy Slippers and Handbags can be found in many fine spas, boutiques, and retail stores throughout the US, Europe, and the Caribbean. They can also be purchased through the company's website at www.SASSYSLIPPERS.com. With slipper prices starting as low as $20, Stodelle said she wanted slippers that "just about anyone can afford".
