2001- Los Angeles based fashion designer, Annie Cholakian had an interesting conversation with her friend Rita Hand about the lack of attractive hospital gowns available for home care patients. Rita is a nurse practicioner and is taking care of her own mother at home and her mother needs to wear a back fastening gown so that Rita will be able to easily easy to dress her without having to pull something out from under body or over her head. Annie thinks and thinks about this problem and then SILVER MOON BAY is born!

Annie comes up with the idea of making the gowns out of a super soft jersey instead of the stiff woven broadcloth that hospital gowns are usually made of. She designs them with special details such as embroideries, crochet edges, baby ring snaps, and even one that looks like an oversized T Shirt with a pocket! She decides to make them out of a super comfortable and durable cotton / poly fabric which keeps moisture at bay and which can be machine washed and dried over and over and still look new!

2002- The company takes off - selling to Hospital gift shops such as the prestigious Helping Hand Gift Shop at Cedars Sinai Medical Center , UCLA Medical Center Gift Shop in Los Angeles, Saint Johns Hospital Gift Shop in Santa Monica California, South Shore Hospital Gift shop in Weymouth, Massachusetts, and also to quality Home Medical Supply Shops such as Total Health Solutions in Metarie Louisiana, Andersons Medical in Terre Haute Indiana, Pico Medical in Los Angeles, Knueppel Healthcare in West Allis, Wisconsen, and Heckman Health Care in Decatur Illinois, and Complete Care in Fort Payne, Alabama.
2005 - Silver Moon Bay exhibits at the Essentially Women trade show and finds a niche for some of it's products in post mastectomy boutiques such as: A Fitting Place in Memphis Tennessee, Touching You in Hoover, Alabama, and Comfort Care Pharmacy and Medical Supply in Glendale and Hollywood, California.

2009 Silver Moon Bay adds front placket snap and button front as well as back opening gowns suitable for labor and delivery and breast feeding and also adds a collection of adaptive clothing for women with limited movement issues.
Annie's mother suffers from Rheumatoid arthritis and having seen how it is sometines painful for her mother to have to lift her arms high to pull garments over her head as well as difficult to fasten the buttons on fly front pants, she designed these garment to be easy to put on. The pants are asy to pull on and the tops are made to order with snap tape either in the front or the back depending on the need.
