About the Company
Shwings and Things, Inc. was founded in 2012 in Hollywood, CA by a father and
son team whose mission is to share the fun in life with cool, affordable
accessories. The brand’s first product
was a wing accessory, inspired by the ancient Greek god Hermes whose
winged sandals made him famous for his swiftness and daring. Within the
company’s first six months, these shoe wings — available in twelve
unique colors — took flight worldwide and could
be found at some of the most exclusive retailers, such as Nordstrom,
Kitson, Fred Segal and Sportie LA in the US and Colette, Galeries
Lafayette and Le Bon Marché in Paris.
The
brand has since expanded to worldwide distribution and has grown from
just twelve wings to over 150 styles in an array of fun shapes and
colors. Shwings have been spotted on a number of
trendsetting celebrity kids, including Gwen Stefani’s boys Zuma and
Kingston, David and Victoria Beckman’s sons Romeo and Cruz, Heidi Klum’s
daughter Lou, Kendall and Kylie Jenner and many others. Shwings has
received press in a wide range of publications
— from Elle, Cosmopolitan and InStyle to Seventeen, US Weekly and
Parents. Shwings accessories can now be found in a variety of retailers,
from luxury boutiques and concept stores to your local toy shop or
convenience store. Shwings has gained worldwide popularity
as a fun, affordable brand for people of all ages.
In
2014 the team acquired a license for My Little Pony and also launched
two new product lines, Linx — a rubber band shoe accessory that turns
lace up shoes into slip-ons — and Stickcons — a
fast and easy way to bling your shoes. As the company continues to
expand, bringing novel ideas to production and worldwide markets,
Shwings and Things remains true to its original mission: inspiring
people to have fun and express their individuality with
fashionable, affordable accessories.
My Thoughts
The newest trends to hit the scene at grammar and middle schools everywhere is sure to be Shwings. These cute accessories give any shoe a hip makeover. They come in lace, clip-on and slot varieties that attach right to your shoes. With over fifty styles to choose from, there is something to suit every kid's taste.
My daughter received a few of the new lace up Shwings to try out, and she loves them. We went with the popular mustache design and was able to try out both the sparkly black and pink options. They are simple to use. They just lace right up into your sneakers and the laces hold them firmly in place. They add a noticeable flare to any shoes and my daughter has received tons of compliments on hers. They are certainly a great way to make a statement.
There are also a few new additions to the Shwing line. Linx takes the looming craze to a new level by allowing you to weave your bands right into your shoes. They are really simply to use and never fall out. Once they're on, its easy to slide in and out of your shoes. Choose from a variety of colors and designs.
My youngest daughter is my sticker hound, and she really love the Stickons. These jewel stickers are a great way to give your sneakers their own unique shine. They adhere well, and even after a romp in the rain, they haven't fallen off her shoes.
