Velvet Outlaw

Velvet Outlaw is where custom meets conscious. Every piece we make is rooted in sustainability—we upcycle materials, minimize waste, and pour love into slow fashion that lasts. The result? A show-stopping custom design that’s better for the planet and built for self-expression.

My road to rhinestones and fringe wasn’t a straight line. I launched Velvet Outlaw from my attic while barely hanging onto my career in social work—specifically, capital defense. It was my dream job, but the burnout was bone-deep. After years on the frontlines of trauma, I hit a wall. My nervous system said “no more.” So I quit.

Now, I get to rebuild—on my own terms. Velvet Outlaw is my space to heal, create, and invite others into something bold, queer, and joyful. Each piece I make carries a bit of that transformation.

I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s create something wild together.
