OUR STORY

The AbiPaige luxury cashmere wrap line was founded by two girls who believe in friendship of the deep and lasting kind. Abi Ferrin and Paige Lane met over 10 years ago when Paige commissioned Abi, who had just been named Texas Top Designer, to create an outfit for a society event. During the process, Paige & Abi hit it off. Instead of keeping Abi as her own personal secret, Paige helped promote Abi's business, by word of mouth and trunk shows in her Aspen and Dallas homes. Paige has an affinity for friendships and style. From interiors to wardrobes, her many treasured girlfriends have been influenced by her aesthetic point of view, and often replicate her look to make it their own. This helped Abi grow and become established as a designer.  While on a girls trip in Aspen, Colorado, the two friends began discussing their favorite obsession- cozy, luxe wraps. This turned into their first true design collaboration, a luxury wrap line. The two girls did not stop until they had the perfect designs, cuts and colors selected. With the designs perfected, they then reached out to Abi's network of ethical manufacturers and launched the first ever 100% ethically produced luxury wrap line. They hope you and your friends enjoy AbiPaige luxury wraps!

 

Aside from being a designer, Abi is also an advocate for oppressed and abused people who are survivors of many types of exploitation ranging from brothels to unethical garment factories. Since leaving an abusive relationship in 2003, she has been speaking out against this global norm and helping with the creation of employment programs that empower people rescued out of bonded slavery and human trafficking.  The AbiPaige brand is one of the many channels through which Abi is bringing awareness to these causes near and dear to her heart.
