Artfully Elegant — Handmade Jewelry & Handcrafted Gifts

Founded by Lisa Lowe, Oré Originals has a bright and colorful history. Lisa grew up in a loving family surrounded by creativity and function, so the concept of colors, prints, and patterns was part of everyday life for her. So, with a focus on useful products with a fun and creative edge, Oré Originals was started in her small Southern California garage in 1989, and it grew from there!

Due to these facts, Oré Originals considers itself a design-driven company as unique as the items that it makes. So it’s no surprise that the products in their collection are sweet, quirky, and always comes in handy for the task it was made for.

Beyond creative aspects, Oré Originals takes pride in their products from start to finish assuring that customers have a quality item that always arrives in perfect condition.

The company is community oriented, helping out local Southern California charities and organizations.

What does the mysterious ’33’ on a bottle of tasty Rolling Rock stand for? Could it be the year of it’s debut? Nope, that was 1939. How about the year prohibition was repealed? Maybe, that was 1933. Perhaps the number of the racing horse pictured on the label? Or the number of letters in the Rolling Rock slogan? The list goes on and on, but there is one thing everyone can agree upon…These are some wicked cool tumblers! Set of 2 glasses in gift box.
