Lauren Junker (formerly Lauren Robertson), a young entrepreneur and triathlete, grew up in Southern California, but left to go to school north in Davis, California. After four years of riding bicycles as her only transportation, living with hippies, and seeing recycling cans everywhere Lauren felt like Davis was home.
When she moved back to Agoura Hills it was a shock to the system. Environmentalists don't run as rampant and it was scary for her. The solution — show people how cool and easy it is to recycle with fashion! And so Totally Tubular Design was born. In the garage of her friend's condo, Lauren got to work creating bags of all shapes and sizes, as well as wallets, belts, and anything she could think of! Products were narrowed down and designs were finalized (but still always changing) with the final product being Totally Tubular Design!
