Our Story: The Quiet Rebellion Behind The Fringe Order

The Spark

I’ve always loved business. I’ve always loved being creative. But as a busy mom of four, I found myself pouring everything out for others without filling my own cup. I wanted something that was mine - something I could build, something lasting, a legacy for my kids.

With limited time and resources, print on demand was the model that made sense. But it wasn’t just about convenience, it was about identity. I’ve always believed that how I dress is how I present myself to the world. It’s my way of saying, “This is who I am.”

I’ve always loved walking into a shop, spotting a shirt that was “so me,” and feeling that spark. I wanted to create that for others - clothing that isn’t cookie cutter, not the same thing you see in every mall, but something unique. Something that makes you feel seen. Something that sparks emotion.

The Name

The name The Fringe Order was born from the idea that these designs aren’t for everyone, and that’s the point. Fringe speaks to the edges, the outer bands of people who live just outside the mainstream. Order represents belonging — a club, a collective, a quiet gathering. Together, The Fringe Order is about bringing outsiders together through identity.

More Than Graphic Tees

Graphic tees are everywhere. A dime a dozen. You throw one on and maybe you like the fit, maybe you like the design, but it doesn’t go deeper. I wanted to create something that did.

I want people to put on a design and have it start a conversation with a stranger. I want their clothing to tell a story about them - their hobbies, their passions, their milestones, even their pets. Every design is made with a specific kind of person in mind, so when they find it, they feel like it was made for them.

The Quiet Rebellion

A quiet rebel is someone who can blend in, but chooses not to lose their identity in the crowd. Someone who joins the flock, but isn’t a sheep.

The Fringe Order is for those quiet rebels. To join The Fringe is to join a collective of people who celebrate what makes them unique. Our mission is to create clothing and goods that let people wear their story - identity-based designs that go beyond fashion into self-expression.

The Future

This is just the beginning. In the long run, I see The Fringe Order offering thousands of products: apparel, mugs, totes, stickers, ornaments, and more. Every design as unique as the people who wear it.

I want this to be a one-stop shop where quiet rebels can find the perfect way to express who they are or the perfect gift for someone they love. Every mood, every season, every occasion.

Because identity isn’t one-size-fits-all. And neither is The Fringe Order.
