When you walk into Bonded by Gigi, you’ll see sparkle everywhere — disco balls, pink decor, and shelves full of things that make you smile. But what most people don’t realize right away is that this store was built from something much deeper than glitter. It was built from love — and from loss.
💖 The Story Behind the Name
Bonded by Gigi was created in loving memory of my mom, Bridget — “Gigi” to those who loved her most. She was the brightest light I’ve ever known — kind, funny, and endlessly optimistic, even through the hardest times. When she passed, I knew I wanted to create something that carried her joy forward — something that would make people feel the way she made others feel: loved, welcomed, and celebrated.
✨ Turning Heartbreak Into Purpose
After losing my mom, I needed something to pour my heart into. I started with a small pop-up offering permanent jewelry — a modern take on the friendship bracelet — because it felt symbolic of connection that never fades. That idea grew, evolved, and eventually became the store you see today inside The Market of Lake Geneva.
Every bracelet welded, every hat made at the hat bar, and every laugh shared in our boutique is a little piece of that legacy — a reminder that joy can coexist with grief, and that love can outlast loss.
🌸 Celebrating Connection Every Day
Permanent jewelry became the perfect symbol for what Bonded by Gigi stands for: staying connected, celebrating the people you love, and finding joy even in the smallest moments. Over time, the store has grown into a full boutique and experience — with a trucker hat bar, 9D virtual reality ride, and curated collections designed to make every visit feel like a celebration.
💎 A Store That Feels Like a Hug
When people walk in, they often say things like, “I wish I could bottle this place up and take it home.” That’s exactly the feeling I wanted to create. It’s not just shopping — it’s warmth, nostalgia, friendship, and fun all wrapped in pink and sparkle. It’s my mom’s spirit, living on in every corner.
💗 Gigi’s Legacy Lives On
Bonded by Gigi isn’t just a name — it’s a promise. A promise to keep spreading kindness, color, and connection in her honor. And every time someone leaves with a permanent bracelet or a hat they made with their best friend, that promise continues.
