Here's the deal...

Hip To Be Me was started in 2007 by designer Suzanne Billings with the hopes of bringing unique, yet trendy, designs to both children and adults. As business grew, it became clear that customers not only want to be themselves, they want to express themselves with what they wear. Suzanne quickly narrowed the product line down to its most popular item, the custom hand-stamped jewelry.

Suzanne's husband, Eric, then joined her in helping run the day-to-day operations of the business. He uses his experience as an artist combined with his business experience to help develop and create new designs and product ideas while helping things run smoothly.

Each Hip To Be Me custom piece has been exclusively designed by Eric or Suzanne. In 2010, Eric and Suzanne introduced Hip To Be Me, Too, a line of children's jewelry that was the result of a collaborative design and execution effort between them.

Hip To Be Me can now be found at over 100 retail locations throughout the country and internationally.
