About Origami Owl

Origami Owl is a jewelry company that specializes in custom Living Lockets.

Started by a 14 year old girl in 2010, Origami Owl has grown into a multi-million dollar direct sales company that strives to be a Force for Good while also empowering women to run their own business.

Founding

Origami Owl was founded in 2010 when 14 year old Bella Weems decided she wanted a car for her 16th birthday. Her parents told her she would have to buy it herself. With a wad of babysitting money and little help from her parents, Bella and her Mom started selling customizable lockets from a mall kiosk.

The Origami Owl co- founders: Bella and her mom, Chrissy.

The kiosk was wildly successful. By 2012, Origami Owl was re-launched with a direct sales business model. Within five years the company boasted 45,000 independent designers.

The Mission

Origami Owl’s mission is to be a force for good,

to love + inspire + motivate people of all ages to reach their dreams and empower them to make a difference in the lives of others.

Force for Good

Origami Owl strives to be a Force for Good. This means creating a positive work environment for all employees; creating a culture that is fun, creative, and caring; and fostering a ‘pay it forward’ attitude. Each month Origami Owl donates to a worthwhile cause, supporting foundations from Childhelp to the American Cancer Society. Additionally, Origami Owl created the Live Sparkly Initiative which uses the profits from select jewelry pieces to help a family in need each year.
