About Us - GrandCo Sandals and the Fashion Accessories we Love!

Who is The Accessory Barn and Nicola Grayling. I was born and raised in England. In 2003, we was offered the chance to move to the US. What should we do? At that time we had no children to worry about. We packed up everything in England and moved. We never looked back!

Now I am the mother of two energetic boys. When they were babies, I found I never had the time to get to the stores to find those all important accessories to complete my outfits. Having two pregnancies within a year of each other, I was always dressed in maternity wear. The only thing I could always rely on to mix up my look was my fashion accessories. My pashmina scarves and jewelry always fitted regardless of my weight gains or losses – They were and still are my best friends!

Fast forward to 2009. I was on vacation with my family when I stumbled on a Grandco Sandals in a store. At that point I had never heard of this brand but what I did know was they were such pretty looking sandals and they were comfortable when I tried them on - I knew I had to purchase a pair! I purchased style 24517 with the colored little marbled stones I knew they would match any summer outfit I would wear. The following day I wore my new sandals. I had them on all day and for the first time ever I had a pair of sandals that didn't hurt me when I wore them for the first time.

Back to the store I went to get another few pairs of beaded flip-flop. Of course they only had one other style in my size - which I purchased. When I got home suddenly I had people commenting on my sandals and asking where I purchased them from. I looked everywhere for those jeweled sandals, when I did find them on line they never had my size or if they did the shipping charges were to high. High shipping fees are a pet hate for me which is why The Accessory Barn keeps to a flat rate priority rate fee of $5.

It was at this stage I decided there was space in the on-line world for someone to bring GrandCo Sandals and other trendy accessories to ladies everywhere.  The Accessory Barn was born. I firmly believe that we don’t always have to pay high prices to get good quality accessories and look great. My customers, many of whom come back again and again, look to me to supply great quality items, including Grandco sandals, fashion accessories, pashmina scarves and much more with incredible service. I deliver on their expectations every time.

I pride myself on the fact that every customer of The Accessory Barn goes away totally satisfied. In fact I guarantee it. The greatest compliment I can receive is YOU referring your friends and family to The Accessory Barn.
