It was founded by Johnnie Boden in 1991 as a mail-order business. The company sells in several countries, with websites for the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, and Australia.<\/p>\n<p>I paired it with some sparkling silver accessories. The Kate Spade tote I have featured before, but it has become one of my most favorite Goodwill finds. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Pool2.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3251\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3251\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Pool2-732x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Pool2\" width=\"475\" data-size=\"2449x3428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Pool2-732x1024.jpg 732w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Pool2-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Pool2-768x1075.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Pool2-840x1176.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 732px) 100vw, 732px\" \/> <\/a> It is perfect for all my poolside accessories. The silver White Mountain sling backs are as comfortable as they are pretty! I\u2019ve worn them with skinny jeans and a light blouse and silver jewelry.
