Wishing you a Hearfelt New Year

Wow, what a year! We started our business with selling our braided barrettes to friends and family and now we are in over 16 stores. We now sell, headbands, clips, kits, t-shirts, and "keppietails." According to An Wang, You have to have your heart in the business and the business in your heart. With hard work, determination and a ton of creativity, we have launched our online store (www.keppiesbarrettes.com). We would not have been able to do it without the love and support of so many people. Our children are so proud to have mom's who make Keppies and they have been with us through the whole process. Our mission of helping girls to see their strengths from within has been an ongoing theme of our company. With one idea, our dream came alive and so can yours. We have balanced hard work and play to make this a business that comes from our hearts and hope our love can transcend to others. Wishing you all our heartfelt love and best wishes for a healthy and happy 2009. May all your dreams come true!

Introducing Keppies Braided Hair Accessories for Girls

Self-esteem is as important to our well-being as legs are to a table.
It is essential for physical and mental health and for happiness.
- Louise Hart

Hi, Everyone,
We just want to introduce ourselves to all of you. We are mothers who were sick of barrettes always falling out of our daughters hair. We remembered the braided barrettes we made in the 80's and put our creativity to a test. We have been in business for 13 months and have sold over 3,ooo barrettes. We sell barrettes, headbands, clips, create-keppie kits, party packs and apparel. As a child therapist and graphic designer, we knew that Keppies "were not just a barrette." These barrettes began to have so much meaning. We live in a critical world that affects children's self esteem. We wanted these Keppies to help recognize the strengths in girls and build their self-esteem. Our Keppies parties are about mothers recognizing the strengths they see in their daughters and daughters recognizong the strengths they see in their mothers. Nothing else is out there that truly cherish's and acknowledges the special gift of friendship and mother/daughter connections. We all need to slow down in this busy world to give our children a hug and tell them how special they are. We just launched our online store at www.keppiesbarrettes.com
