[RVR 2021] Puvithel Vendor Spotlight + Announcements and Reminders!

Hi everyone! Our #RoyalVegasRetreat2021 vendor spotlight this week features Puvithel, an alternative fashion designer who makes and designs original handmade jewelry, accessories, clothing, and handbags for J-fashion and alternative styles. Puvithel is our special guest, and her brand will also be a part of the RVR 2021 fashion shows!

A reminder that GA and VIP tickets as well as Partner Passes are still available if you would like to attend the event. Those who reserved their tickets in June should have received an email with instructions for paying the remaining cost. If you reserved your ticket, please pay the remainder using the code in the instructions by September 1st.

Please keep in mind that all RVR attendees must be fully vaccinated (i.e., it has been at least 2 weeks since your final dose of vaccine) and all attendees must wear a mask when not eating or drinking. We have worked with our venue to ensure we have plenty of space for all of our attendees to feel safe, and to accommodate all of the interest we have in our event.

We are looking for volunteers! Please see our volunteer page to sign up NOW! We will be reaching out to all volunteers by the end of the month to start coordinating, and we will continue to accept volunteers on a rolling basis until October 19.

What is the story behind your store/brand logo? I wanted my brand logo to be very unique but also very personal, so I hand drew a logo based on my own handwriting and cleaned it up to make it still look nice as a vector.

What would your brand “elevator pitch” be? Puvithel is about unabashed self-expression and spans many styles, including punk, gothic, lolita, and menhera. Regardless of style, Puvithel's items are loud - inspired by the in-your-face aesthetic of American gothic fashion. Puvithel believes fashion is a beneficial form of expression, a belief that is imbued in every item she makes. Every series has its own style and narrative to aid you in telling your own story.

What are your favourite materials to work with? I really like working with specialty acrylics, pearl beads, and paper flowers.

What is your favourite item that you sell? Does a parent have a favorite child? I don't think I have any favorite item, as each item I make has a very specific vision. I am particularly pleased however when someone buys an item that has a very personal connection with me, such as the Anxiety Angel set which features my own intrusive thoughts and artwork, or the Dogs and Desserts salopettes, which feature my dog Pie.

What is the most popular item that you sell? To nobody's surprise, the crystal heart necklace is by far the most popular item I've sold.

Who are some of your favourite designers? I have a lot of favorite designers, but to name a few I'm a fan of Blablahospital, Hard Decora, Haenuli, Lady Sloth and Violet Fane.
