Raising three young girls, Laura Haiges noticed that finding high-quality toys and apparel was not always easy. Laura looked back to the traditional wooden toys of the past handmade by craftsmen, wishing to find them for her daughters. She found mass-produced clothing’s quality to be less than desired. She had to search online to find clothing sewn from good material—but still, she couldn’t feel or touch them before they arrived at her door. So in 2003, Laura started attending the prestigious road shows at Junior League events. She set up a stand and curated a collection of goods where parents could find stylish and high-quality clothing, as well as carefully crafted toys.
In May of 2006, just five weeks after the birth of her third daughter, Laura opened BellaBoo. Born and raised in Lancaster, she saw a revitalized city that was growing into a thriving urban environment. She decided there was no better place for BellaBoo’s home then in the square of Lancaster
