Our Name

Our founder, Gigi, often wears her hair in two cute lil’ top knots, as seen here and in the company logo. Her husband said the buns looked like she had little bear ears and thus suggested the name “Bear Buns Closet.”

At first, Gigi thought he was saying “Bare Buns Closet!” But once she understood, she loved the double entendre, and Bear Buns Closet was born!

A blonde woman with her hair in two top buns sits on top of a mountain overlooking a mountainous landscape and valley. She wears black sunglasses and a black sports bra.

Gigi is the proud founder/owner of Bear Buns Closet and is excited to serve as your local stylist, clothes reseller, and clothes-swap host.  She thrives when she's helping people connect and feel their best, and is known to wear many hats, among them:
