Upcycled, Unapologetic, Undeniably You

Velvet Outlaw is where custom meets conscious—and every piece tells a story.
Based in Louisville, KY, we upcycle clothing and accessories into bold, rhinestone-drenched, fringe-flickin’ pieces of wearable art. Whether it’s a reimagined vintage jacket, a statement-making bandana, or a showy accessory for your pup, each design is created with sustainability, queerness, and serious flair at the core.

Founded in an attic, built on burnout, and stitched with purpose, Velvet Outlaw is more than a fashion brand—it’s a rebellion wrapped in fabric. We're here for the misfits, the makers, and anyone who knows clothing isn’t just clothing—it’s armor, expression, and healing.

Glad you made it here. Let’s get dressed loud.

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.
