Welcome to V & V Bows - a.k.a. - "The Bow Palace" Let me
introduce us. My name is Victor Sturm, and my wife's name is Vicki. We are from
Dallas, Texas. I was raised by my maternal grandmother and mother. I give
deference to my grandmother because she had the greatest impact on my life, and
by default raised me. Both were seamstresses. I learned at an early age to
handle, and use a sewing machine. I also grew-up with the knowledge that "
if you can't find it, then make it yourself". Vicki also grew-up under
similar circumstances with her mother. Vicki and I combed the malls, and craft
shows for years looking for hair accessory products that were easy to use,
versatile, durable, and reasonably priced. Needless to say - we didn't find any
- so my oldest memories kicked in and reminded me to - "make it yourself"
- and in 1993 we started designing a better product that looked fuller and was
easy to use. They didn't too good at first, but as with all things, they got
better as we practiced creating our product. We did just a couple at first for
Vicki to wear to work. Not long after something odd happened, my wife's friends
and the customers where she worked asked that important question - "Where
did you get that bow?!" Well that was the beginning. Now we work at our
jobs during the day, create our product at home at night, and do Arts &
Crafts Shows when we can get off from our jobs. We show our products from as far
northeast as Ohio to as far northwest Colorado, and of course Texas.
