Meet Jennifer of Born 2 Impress

Tell us a little about you . . .

I am a 34 years old first time mom, who loves creating new accessories and details for little girls.

I love everything handmade and spend a lot of my time designing new items for my store.

What is your business and where can we find it?

Born 2 Impress is an online Handmade Children Accessories Store and you can find us at: www.born2impress.com

Is it mom-owned, invented, created . . .?

It is mom-owned, invented and created.

A little about your entrepreneur journey so far?

I love what I do even though is difficult some times having a very active 22 months old running around , but I have to say that really enjoy creating the different accessories that I have in the store.

Where else can people find you?

We are currently working on a blog and can find us in twitter as Born2impress.

Anything else you’d like to share?

About Us

It was their Idea !!

Shortly after I found out that I was pregnant, I decided that I wanted to start making bows and cute accessories for little girls. I started by making different bows and headbands for my niece and then friend’s little girls. Everyone seemed to like the items so well, that they insisted that I should start my own business to sell my creations to everyone.

After my daughter was born, I kept making the products and after creating over a hundred different styles of items, my husband insisted that I should get a website and start selling my items. I decided if I was going to do this, I’d do it right. All of our products have been created with the highest quality materials available with an emphasis placed on safety. All of our accessories are hand-sewn together and all ribbon ends are heat-sealed to prevent fraying.

My little princess is my model and inspiration, as a mother I wouldn’t use anything that I wouldn’t use for my own child. My creations are colorful, fun, and unique and each is hand-crafted as if it was for my own child.
