The Story of Talahi

Our story begins at Talahi, our cherished family cottage, where the roots of Boji Girls Co. are firmly planted. Established in the summer of 1919, Talahi was lovingly named by Dr. Porath, drawing from the Ojibwa word meaning "among the oaks." Nestled gracefully atop a hill and surrounded by majestic oaks on Dixon's Beach, Talahi has been a sanctuary for our family for generations.

​

For years, the tranquil shores of Talahi have been a place of exploration and inspiration, as we’ve discovered and gathered beautiful beach glass. Cathie, a proud fifth-generation member of our family, alongside her daughter Catie, who represents the sixth generation to cherish Talahi’s rich heritage and stunning views of West Okoboji Lake, decided to share this special connection with the world.

​

In January 2021, Cathie and Catie founded Boji Girls Co. with a vision to bring the unique beauty of Okoboji to others. Our collection features handcrafted, one-of-a-kind pieces inspired by the beach glass collected from Talahi's serene lakeshore. Each item is a testament to the timeless allure of our beloved Talahi, crafted with care and infused with the spirit of West Okoboji Lake.

Thank you for joining us on this journey, and we hope our creations bring a touch of the magic of Okoboji into your life.
