The Red Velvet Girls joined forces in 2002 and have built their company from the ground up, one pretty piece at a time! From their humble beginnings selling handmade accessories at music festivals they have worked together to bring their dream to life. Today Red Velvet is an internationally recognized independent label. They own and operate the Red Velvet Boutique and Sweet Shoppe, their brick and mortar store as well as a successful online shop focused on Vintage and Independent Designer fashion and accessories.

Red Velvet was founded by Elsie Larson, Rachel Denbow and Emma Chapman who conceptualized the venture nearly ten years ago. Holly joined the group around 2009. In addition to photographers and seamstresses, the Red Velvet team collaborates with dozens of independent designers around the globe. Red Velvet is always moving forward and searching for a new creative vision.

In 2011 Red Velvet launched their first dress line under their namesake label. The Red Velvet Studio is packed with new projects that will debut in Spring and Summer. Keep your eyes peeled for new designs and a steady flow of wearable vintage in pristine condition. Each and every vintage piece is handpicked by the Red Velvet Girls and many are restored to their original beauty in the Red Velvet Studio.
