Despite having a little bit of star power and the help of their Uncle Russell, Angela and Vanessa Simmons should still be fully credited for the huge success of their Pastry shoe company. Launched in 2007, their shoes already have distribution in over 15 countries and are generating millions in annual revenue.
The unique assortment targets junior girls and ranges from athletic, dress, and children’s footwear to apparel and accessories. They're even planning to launch a line of Barbie dolls. Using the theme of "self-expression", their ideas have turned out to be pure genius concepts.
Recently on Black Enterprise Business Report, the two sisters discussed how it all happened. They talk about how they identified a void in the shoe industry, how they jumped on the opportunity, how they took the initiative to make it "a reality", and how they hope to inspire others.
