Our Story
MARLYS BADZIN, Owner/Buyer
Marlys Badzin opened Pumpz & Company in 2000 as a response to Galleria customers asking for a place to find the latest shoe and handbag styles without flying to either coast. After almost twenty years of experience in leasing to retailers, she became one. Pumpz is recognized as the place to score the best available pieces to accessorize your own signature style. With over one hundred years of combined experience, our staff will help you choose the perfect handbag or footwear to create a look that's classic or forward, but always in style. Many of our items are designed specifically for us. We can also special order or track down your size when quantities are limited. Enjoy shopping with us!
