A Brief History of Cline Footwear, Inc. dba Sheep Dogs™ |
|||||
Sheep Dogs™ began in 1982, when Kim and Debi Cline opened The Shoe Place at the Orange County Marketplace in Costa Mesa, California. Over the next two decades, their company grew to a year-round business featuring sandals and sheepskin footwear. In 1990, the Clines opened their first seasonal cart at Fashion Island in Newport Beach, California. After a successful run selling sheepskin slippers and Ugg® boots, they were asked to stay full time. For five years they ran an outdoor kiosk, called Southern Exposure, selling sheepskin in the winter and sandals the rest of the year. In 1996, they expanded, renting in-line seasonal stores during the winter months. This holiday season will marked the 19th year at Fashion Island. After opening seasonal stores along the Southern California coast, the burgeoning business soon adopted the name Sheep Dogs™. In 1998, the company introduced their own label, Sheep Dogs™, and began having sheepskin manufacturers around the world make their favorite products for their customers.
