Let's get personal...

Founded in 2006, Emergingthoughts.com is an online boutique comprised of independent designers from around the world. We scour the globe looking for emerging designers, with every item carefully handpicked by founder, Lauren Katz. We pride ourselves on being in touch withour customers--with a goal of creating a personal shopping experience.
Currently based out of New York, we are in the process of relocating our headquarters to Chicago. When she's not working full-time for Emergingthoughts.com, Lauren is interested in long distance running, playing drums and collecting vinyl records.
