I first encountered Vela Apparel when they had a booth at the Steamboat Springs farmers market. I bought a shirt that day and since then have fallen in love with the brand. I’m obsessed with the artwork and even asked the artist if I could use one of the designs for a tattoo. I was over the moon when she gave me her blessing to use her work, and feel a very special connection to her work. I hope others find meaning and beauty in Vela designs like I have and that this business continues to produce beautiful products for Coloradans to enjoy!
