Update #28: I want your photos of you wearing your boots!
Helloooo!
I realize it's been a long time since I've posted any updates here, so now seems like the perfect time to do just that.
Firstly, the boots are AVAILABLE! You can get yourself a pair at jessicaswift.com.
And now for the updates:
1. The boots are making their way out into the world slowly but surely and are being sold in a few shops now-- in Denver, Vancouver, and here in Atlanta. Exciting!
I'm collecting photos of people wearing the boots, so I can put together the largest rain boot photo gallery in the world! Check it out-- I'm calling it Operation Puddle Stomp. :)
I'd LOVE to include a photo of you in the gallery-- please email them to me at jess[at]jessicaswift[dot]com if you want to join in the fun!
2. I'm now donating $5.00 of every online order to charity : water, an extraordinary organization that brings clean and safe drinking water to developing regions. What better organization to support than one dedicated to water? I'm also donating $50 or every wholesale order.
So your rain boot purchase will help save the world! Cool, right?
3. For those of you who've received the boots, your inner labels may be peeling. I know this sucks. I've figured out how to print some sticky-backed fabric labels here in my studio, and they're holding up vey well in my own boots. If you'd like a replacement set of labels, just say the word! Email me at jess[at]jessicaswift[dot]com and I'll send 'em to you straightaway. :)
That's it for now! I hope you're having a lovely Spring-- it's the perfect time for some rain boots, don't you think? If you haven't gotten yourself a pair yet, what are you waiting for?!

Project By
Has not connected their Facebook account.
I am a full-time independent artist in Atlanta, GA. (Surface pattern designer, painter, and illustrator.) I make and sell products featuring my artwork online (links below) and in shops around the country. I also license my patterns to companies for their products. I'm addicted to color and want to cover the world in my patterns!
Look at those boots! So cool! Yay!! Are you looking for places to sell the boots in Europe, or are you concentrating on the US right now (because of customs, etc.) ? I've seen so many places where I could imagine your boots as I've been travelling, I always think of you! Let me know if I can help in any way :)

Yes, I want to sell them everywhere! I'd love some European recommendations. :) Thanks, Stephanie!
