A rainbow girl in a sad beige world
Okay Stella was started as a way to fight back against an increasingly dull world.
Growing up with a 60s-obsessed kindergarten teacher for a mother, my childhood was filled with vibrant florals, rainbow fiestaware, and many weekends spent at flea markets and antique shops. Combined with the neon colors and radical patterns of the 90s, a rainbow obsession was inevitable.
Several decades of vintage shopping and experimental crafting later, Okay Stella was born. As mass produced clothing and accessories lost their color and personality, I found myself more and more frustrated trying to find things that suited my taste and personality. A trip to the craft store sparked memories of working through The Incredible Clay Book as a child, and I went home with a half dozen blocks of polymer clay and too much confidence in my artistic ability.
Months of beautiful, rainbow failures later, I had my first pair of earrings. From that moment, the creativity flowed, and now we're here! It's my hope to create unique, bright pieces that make you feel like the coolest person in the room. Everything is designed and handmade by me for anyone looking for a unique bit of color in a sad beige world
