Sam and Libby Edelman, a power couple in the footwear industry, have built successful brands over the course of their 45-year relationship. They met in 1979 and went on to launch their own label, Sam & Libby, which became a hit, selling 7 million pairs of their bow ballet flat. They later launched the Sam Edelman brand, which has become a household name and a major success story in contemporary footwear. The Edelmans' passion for fashion and footwear, along with their marketing skills and ability to anticipate industry trends, have contributed to their longevity and success in the business. Their children have also been involved in the company, with their eldest son now serving as SVP and GM. The Sam Edelman brand has expanded to include kids' shoes and apparel, and they have plans for international expansion in the coming years. [Extracted from the article]
