Bunny Paige is an American independent jewelry and accessories brand founded by designer Lauren Tatum in 2012 and based in Cleveland, Ohio. The company is known for its handmade resin heart jewelry embellished with crystals and metal spikes. Bunny Paige's iconic spiked-hearts have been featured in regional press, fashion-industry publications, Fastion Week, and Fashion Week–associated events.
History
Bunny Paige was founded in 2012 by Lauren Tatum, who left her corporate job and began producing handmade jewelry inspired by Japanese and South Korean street fashion. The business began as an Etsy shop before expanding into local boutiques, craft shows, and online sales.[4]
By 2015, the brand relocated into a dedicated studio within Cleveland’s 78th Street Studios, an artist complex located in the Gordon Square Arts District. Bunny Paige continues to handcraft their pieces from this location.[4]
A 2017 Shopify interview also documents the brand’s early growth, describing how Tatum scaled production, fulfillment, and direct-to-consumer operations through Shopify.[5]
Products and design
Bunny Paige is most recognized for its ‘‘Spiked Heart’’ designs made from hand-cast resin hearts decorated with metal spikes and Swarovski crystal pavé.[6] Products also include earrings, bracelets, rings, and embellished accessories such as sunglasses. [7]

WWD reported: “Laura Tatum owns and operates Bunny Paige jewelry out of Cleveland, Ohio,” and highlighted the brand’s pricing and design aesthetic. [8]
Media coverage
The 2018 Cleveland.com profile provides independent journalistic coverage of Bunny Paige’s history, design process, and involvement in Fashion Week events. [4]
Women’s Wear Daily’s mention of Bunny Paige as a featured exhibitor at NYFW and a Fashion Week accessory showcase solidifying the brand’s presence within the fashion ecosystem.[8]
