Orange County-based brand LYNKS began with a simple solution from a mother trying to help her daughter. Founder Lyn immigrated from Vietnam with big dreams and quickly faced the realities of long commutes, tight budgets, and shoes that never seemed to stay on her feet. Her mother came up with a practical fix using a simple elastic band, and that small idea eventually became the inspiration for LYNKS.
