Slow fashion & wearable art

Want something that shouts you from every stitch? That’s our thing.
We offer custom chainstitch embroidery and small-batch pieces for other small businesses—think bold bandanas, bolo ties, and tote bags that turn heads and start conversations. All custom work is built on upcycled materials whenever possible, because we care how things are made, not just how they look.

We don’t do wedding dresses or anything that tries to be a replica of someone else. Velvet Outlaw customs are unapologetically original—like you.
