Suzanne Kopulos

Biography

Bridgeport — Designer Suzanne Kopulos is the baby bag-brainchild behind the ultra-chic Boujie Baby Couture. Inspired by the birth of her vivacious niece Basilia, the Chicago native launched her first line of limited edition couture diaper bags, the Chic Collection, in late 2005, debuting on Hudson Street in the trendy West Village of New York City. With less than a year under its belt, Boujie Baby Couture was featured in ABC and NBC fashion segments, AlphaMom TV, Celebrity Baby Blog, Chicago Social Magazine, Cool Mom Picks, Daily Candy Kids, as well as Punk Rock Confidential magazine.

2008 marks the launch of her sophomore designs, the Street Chic collection. The Basilia Bag is the perfect marriage between necessity, function and current trends. The newest addition, the Michigan Ave Mini, introduces the smaller size of parenthood with on-the-go convenience. Suzanne has mastered the use of bold and exotic exteriors with child friendly fabrics for the design of the Street Chic collection. Simply put, Boujie Baby Couture creates Handbags for Mothers™.

A self-taught designer, Suzanne earned her degree in Marketing and International Business from the University of Kentucky, Lexington, followed by a Juris Doctorate from St. Thomas University in Miami, Florida. Studying in her backyard of Miami Beach, Suzanne developed the creative ideas behind the brand. Upon returning to her hometown Chicago, she opted to leave her legal pad in the drawer and follow her passion for fashion!

Not only do they design bags for fashionista mommies on Michigan Ave, but they have created a community with the exciting addition of a blogspot and charity, Boujie Benevolence™ , starting in Chicago with the Parkways Foundation.
