The Pastry Thin Mint Collection, consisting of women’s and kids shoes and a backpack, hit specialty retail stores across the country on Wednesday, including Finish Line, Underground Station and Lady Foot Locker. A take on Pastry’s “Fab Cookie” sneaker, the Thin Mint Shoe will be available in chocolate and white, and incorporates the Girl Scout philosophy, scripted on the shoe’s outsole. The women’s shoe will retail around $70 with the kid’s version available for $45 and the coordinating backpack going for around $65.
The Thin Mint Collection continues the relationship established between the Simmons sisters and the Girls Scouts Organization in 2007. Vanessa and Angela joined the organization as spokespersons for the “Make Girls Scouts Your Business” initiative, which encourages girls to participate in the various Entrepreneurship and Financial Literacy programs.
Their efforts have included a series of speaking engagements sharing their experiences as young businesswomen, as well as supporting the girls in their various leadership initiatives. “Our relationship with the Girl Scouts is deeply meaningful to us,” explained Vanessa Simmons. “To have the opportunity to further support their efforts of empowering young women with the creation of the Thin Mint Collection is very special.”
These ladies are really doing their thing! Glad to see them giving back and lending a help hand to the women of the future. You can check out Angela and Vanessa’s pastry collection at http://www.pastrykicks.com/
