Hello! I'm Lauren and I am the owner, heart, and hands behind Bunny Paige. Bunny Paige officially got its start on a sunny day in 2012 in the heart of Cleveland, Ohio but has existed in my daydreams for as long as I can remember. My obsession started when I was little and my mom gave me a collection of vintage costume jewelry to play dress up with. One day one of my treasured necklaces broke and suddenly I had a pile of beads, rhinestones, and inspiration to work with. From that point on I experimented with hand crafting everything and anything and found that I loved it all. When I grew up and entered the real world life became a vicious cycle of wake up, go to work, come home, sleep, repeat, leaving very little time or energy for exploring any creative endeavors. What I wanted more than anything was to create a successful business based on my love of hand crafting, but I thought the "new economy" would make this dream an impossible one. By the start of 2009 I had enough of being unhappy and trapped inside a cubicle so I took a drastic step and quit my miserable job when the opportunity to travel across the globe came up, and I haven't looked back since. I found an incredible amount of inspiration in the street style landscape of Japan and South Korea. Everything was so bright, thriving, and beautifully brazen and unabashed; where everyone used their personal style to fully express themselves in a way that I had never experienced before. There was a real sense that you could be anyone or anything you wanted to be. I came back to the States feeling refreshed, excited, and determined in a way I hadn't felt in years. That is when the idea of Bunny Paige was born.
