NICOLE GARZA is founder of Mally Bibs. In 2005, she had a lucky spill one day when feeding her 10 month old daughter Malia, who was wearing one of her many stained cloth bibs. As the baby food spilled onto her leather shoe, a simple wipe with a cloth was all it took, and the mess easily cleaned away like magic. It was that moment that the idea of leather bibs started to come to life as a family run, home -based business. The goal was to take this idea of a new type of baby bib and make it the best it could possibly be, equipping it with many smart features. Now, just 2 years later, Mally Bibs are available in 48 designs, and can be found in over 300 stores across North America. The latest additions include leather appliqué art cards and an online customizable option.
