Spirituality and Fashion collide to bring a new line to the forefront with globally inspired jewelry and fine objects for the "glam OHM- embracing set". BuDhaGirl is truly a "first" in the market by giving beautiful objects a purpose and ritual, with the science to substantiate the importance of brain health and contemplative practices. BuDhaGirl is deeply rooted in the present while being informed and inspired by the past.
Co- Founder, Susie Hoimes, hails from the world of celebrated vintage jewelry as founder of the notable MDVII, haven for true vintage and costume jewelry collectors. MDVI, named one of the eight vintage shops to know by Vogue Magazine, Susie brings her extensive knowledge of costume and fine jewelry to BuDhaGirl. Jessica Jesse joins BuDhaGirl from the world of fashion elite, working directly with Gianni Versace, Yves Saint Laurent, Bill Blass and Valentino. Holding directorship positions for Saks Fifth Avenue, Niemen Marcus and working directly under Hubert de Givenchy allowed Jesse to hone in to the zeitgeist of fashion and style alike. Both women grew up internationally exposing them to different cultures and norms. From Africa to Austria, their colorful childhoods along with their own adult self-exploration gives them a unique vantage point to breath sensitivity, compassion and a mindful perspective into their new Collection. Both Jesse and Hoimes have traveled extensively, living in the moment and valuing the process as much as the personal outcome.
