Baabaazuzu was first created in 1993 when Kevin Burns (co-owner) shrunk his wife's favorite wool sweaters. Rather than frowning about her misfortune Sue Burns creatively reworked the sweaters into one-of-a-kind garments for her two daughters. Word spread fast in a small village and the phone was off the hook with fans inquiring about Sue's beautiful designs. After a year of being a children's line, Baabaazuzu began receiving requests for women's wear--the line quickly changed gears and became a full eco-clothing and accessories line for women. With the popularity of Baabaazuzu fashion the company outgrew the basement and moved to 3 locations since. BaabaaZuzu's unique recycled garments and accessories have been named one of Michigan's "50 New Businesses to Watch." After years of offering handcrafted, upcycled products to women, Baabaazuzu launched a men's line in 2011. Baabaazuzu is featured in over 900 retailers in the US. The internationally recognized brand can also be found in Australia, Canada, Japan and South Korea.
