After several years of retail and FIDM, Karen Lazar opened her own store, Acacia, in the 90's as a multi-designer boutique in Beverly Hills with all young European designers. After ten years, she went on to design and manufacture a women's pant collection called Gavin. Now she’s making gold bead bracelets. She started by making nine for herself in small and medium beads and they were so comfortable that she never took them off! Her bracelets are easy to wear, can be worn in the water, and mix well with bangles or other bracelets to make each wrist one's own.
