Ribbies Clippies^® 

Ribbies Clippies was created by sisters Kim Marable and Kristen Creamer in 2006 when they were looking for an alternative to the big hair bow for their then 6 month old daughters. Ribbies Clippies was one of the first hair accessories on the market to sell hairclips covered simply with patterned ribbon. A foam grip was added to the inside of the clip and the original company motto of "Modern. Simple. Grippy" was created. It was this innovation and the simple design that made Ribbies Clippies a selection for the Target Parent Inventors program. The Ribbies business was only 6 months old when Target placed their first order. Five years later the 4 pack gift set can still be found on Target.com. 

Kim took over the business in 2010 and relocated its office to Austin, Texas. Ribbies now has international distributors with products sold in over 14 countries. Kim thinks she has found the perfect job that allows her to run a successful business and still be able to have plenty of family time with husband and 2 children, and drive the kids to school 5 days a week. "It's my dream job and I am so grateful to all our loyal Ribbies customers that helped make it happen!"
