That Girl Who Once Hid Her Shoes…

That Girl Who Once Hid Her Shoes…

There was a little girl who wanted to go to the skating rink with the “rich kids” across the street. She didn’t have much—but she had hope. When they said yes, she was thrilled… until one of them looked her up and down and scanned her clothes.

She felt the heat of shame rising in her chest.
Not because she did something wrong.
But because her shoes had holes in them.

So she did what any child does when survival is on the line—
She hid.
She tucked her feet under the car so they couldn’t see the truth.
She covered the part of her that might be rejected.

And unknowingly, she began a pattern that followed her into womanhood.

She hid her desires.
She hid her needs.
She even hid in relationships where being fully chosen was impossible—because somewhere deep down, that felt safer than being fully seen and maybe left behind.

That girl… became the woman who believed she had to earn her place.
To perform, to dress it up, to be enough.
But the truth is—she always was.

And that little girl… was me.

Yes—me.
The founder and creator of K & G Designer Bags.

A woman who once hid her shoes in shame…
now creates statement pieces for women who no longer hide.

Because I know what it feels like to shrink.
To be overlooked.
To feel like you're never quite “enough” to belong.

But I also know what it feels like to heal.
To walk with confidence.
To carry purpose on your shoulder and boldness in your stride.

Every K & G piece carries a story—
my story.
And now, yours too.

If you’ve ever felt like you needed to hide part of yourself to be accepted,
this is your sign: No more hiding.

You are worthy of being seen.
You are worthy of being chosen.
You are worthy of carrying beauty, power, and presence everywhere you go.

That girl who once hid her shoes?
She doesn’t hide anymore.
And neither should you.

Welcome home, Queen.
Let’s carry the legacy—together.
