Join us for Art Walk!

Ballard's Artwalk is this Saturday from 6-9 PM and at Velouria we are really excited to be featuring designer Susan Fedore's line, UNA.  On Saturday we will have an expanded collection of her clothing in the shop with new Fall designs--we're sure her flattering necklines and screen-printed detailing will win you over!And we're thrilled to be showcasing art by Urban and Amy, a collaboration between husband and wife duo Amy Bengtson and Urban Guy Allen. We love their graphic, often industrial-inspired wooden art and can't wait to have it on our gallery walls for the next month. Amy, a talented jewelry artist as well, will have a special collection of etched and inlaid wood necklaces and earrings on hand for Saturday evening. Come on by and check it out!

We're also pleased to introduce to you the clothing lines Akemi Okamoto out of San Francisco and Hubris out of Portland!  We hope you'll like these newest additions to our always-expanding group of independent designers as much as we do!  See you soon!
