Recently a friend of mine was looking for something to sell on the Internet but then again isn't everyone? He wanted something that was easy and cheap to make, that everybody wanted and that he could sell for a huge profit. Okay that was little over the top, but that pretty much summed up his request.

After talking to him and his wife, they decided on modifying footwear, especially sandals. She is from South America and cannot understand why everyone wears closed toe shoes here in the States, from what I gather most of the people in Ecuador wear Flip-Flops most of the time.

It is remarkable what can be fashioned with a few beads and some ribbon sew onto a Dr. Scholl's Sandal.

I did a little research and it turns quite a few of the designers. Bottega Veneta, Bruno Frisoni, Christian Dior and Roger Vivier just to name a few have new lines out for the Spring/Summer of 2004 that feature basic sandals that have been embellished with beads or ribbons. These have a sky-high price tag and don't even get me started on Jimmy Choo his shoe prices are just insane.
