Snow Bunny is an après-ski collection inspired by athleisure trends. It fills a niche for attainable yet trendy, high-quality cold-weather fashion.

All pieces are crafted from premium materials without compromising on aesthetics. Whether you’re savoring a fireside cocktail or strolling through a picturesque alpine village, our attire effortlessly blends comfort and refinement.
Snow Bunny was founded by Stacey Bruck, an entrepreneur with a BS in Accounting and a Master’s in Marketing and eCommerce from Texas A&M University. Stacey began skiing in the German Alps at Garmisch-Partenkirchen while living in Munich, Germany, with her parents during her childhood. She fondly recalls skiing up and down the same slope 100 times a day without poles. She was also part of a ski team with her dad that bused around the Alps, skiing different slopes every weekend. Once back in the States, she skied on various church trips and with her family. When she got married, her husband made her promise they would go on at least three ski trips a year. While this has been challenging with three active boys, all of the kids learned to ski before they were three years old, and they have managed to ski every year. Now, it’s the trip her family loves most.
Stacey enjoys traveling and skiing with family and friends. She has always appreciated the socializing, people-watching, and atmosphere of après-ski happy hours in Vail, Aspen, Méribel, Courchevel, and other locations she has had the opportunity to visit. When thoughtfully planning what kind of company she wanted to start, she realized her love for skiing, ski towns, and resorts needed to be included in her plans. In high school, she would daydream of owning a clothing store. With Snow Bunny, Stacey is fulfilling a lifelong dream of being an innovator in the fashion industry, combining her love of the mountains with her passion for travel.
TRIP BUTTON BUSTLE
I am a Children’s Designer located outside of Boston, Massachusetts. I currently work as a Fashion Designer at Kids2. I attended Otis College of Art in Los Angeles and Austin School of Fashion Design. I started as a Toy Designer on Girls Brands in California at Jakks Pacific and Mattel. While there I worked on Disney, Nickelodeon, Polly Pocket, and other brands. After having my four kids, I realized what a better designer I could be for children with my new perspective as a parent. When my daughters were crawling and learning to walk, I would love to dress them up in beautiful dresses. This was the age where they wanted to be on the move, crawl, pull up on things, and practice their new steps. However, their pretty dresses would always get in the way and cause them to trip, fall, or slip. I wanted to invent a dress that they could wear while still crawling, climbing, and standing. The solution also needed to be comfortable for the child and easy for the caregiver. Out of this, the fashion line Trip. Button. Bustle was created. Trip. Button. Bustle is an adaptive fashion line that makes life easier for caregivers and children and allows the same fashion to be worn for preschool, playground and parties.
