Punk Princess in Retirement

A funky twist on punk rebellion. Handmade with bold textures, French lace, and eclectic sleeve detailing. This one-of-a-kind shirt is equal parts grunge, while being made for the girls.

Punk Princess in Retirement is meant to remind you of your teenage girlhood, but also the power you have to rock this fun twist. It’s Inspired by the clash between underground DIY energy and regal femininity. This special piece blends plaid, lace, and velour into a design that feels both defiant and sophisticated. It’s a collector’s piece that’s bold, eccentric, and unapologetically individual.

The bodice fabric being sourced from Los Angeles, is trimmed with hand-applied metal eyelets. Each one has been punched and secured by hand for a raw yet intentional finish!

The sleeves are deliberately mismatched: one crafted from plaid fabric reimagined from a dress. The other from soft pink cotton velour trimmed with delicate French lace sourced in New York. The mix of grunge plaid and romantic lace creates a tension that feels rebellious yet luxurious. It’s basically what my brain thinks of punk gone couture.
