Vendor Spotlight: Boho Gypsy Gal

August 21, 2017

Boho Gypsy Gal began creating jewelry pieces when she became frustrated at the lack of unique items at retail stores. She didn't want the same pieces that friends and co-workers were wearing, but instead wanted to stand out! She created some basic pieces and discovered that they were a huge hit and that she wasn't the only one looking for something different. Thus, Boho Gypsy Gal Jewelry was born!
