Influential Women to Watch in 2026: Tami Lange, Founder of Save the Girls
Tami Lange is the founder and owner of Save The Girls, a fast-growing accessories brand built on the mission of helping women live hands-free. A business leader with a proven track record in marketing and product innovation, Tami has scaled the company into an eight-figure brand in under a decade through strategic partnerships and multi-channel growth. In addition to building the brand, she leads with purpose by donating 10% of annual profits to breast cancer research.
What inspired you to launch Save The Girls?
Two of my daughters lost their phones in the same week. My sister-in-law had a “solution”—she pulled her phone from her bra, even though she was fighting breast cancer. That moment stopped me. I knew women and girls deserved a smarter, safer, more dignified way to carry their phones. Save The Girls was created to keep phones secure, accessible, and stylish.
Save The Girls isn’t only about chic and functional products—it’s a movement. What’s the mission?
Our mission is to empower women through thoughtful design while giving back to breast cancer research. Every product we create is designed to simplify life and support the fight against breast cancer.
Take us through your bestsellers.
Our bestselling purse is the Bella. It features a touch-screen phone pocket for easy access, three RFID credit-card slots, and includes both a clutch strap and a crossbody strap, so women can wear it exactly how they want.
Our bestselling phone lanyard, known as the Clip N Go™, uses a discreet phone card that turns virtually any phone case into a hands-free crossbody. It comes with both a wrist strap and a crossbody strap, plus a three-zipper pouch that clips onto the strap—perfect for concerts, dog walks, cruises, or anytime you just need your phone, keys, money, and small essentials. It’s simple, secure, and incredibly convenient.
Do you consider yourself a disruptor?
Yes. I challenged the idea that women have to choose between fashion and function. I design for how women actually live.
