About Us

Welcome to Counter Couture — our feisty fiefdom of creativity. The “we” of Counter Couture is Kaelin (me) and my husband, Richard. We met through a mutual friend in 2007. We didn't know until later that we both lived in Spokane, WA at the same time, hanging out at the same bars, and had many mutual friends and NEVER met! But as fate would have it, we wouldn't meet until we were both single and in Denver. Within 7 months of dating, we bought a house together, got married 3 years later, and started what is now Counter Couture in that same house! Now 13 years later we have a staff of 6 amazing people. I run the day-to-day chaos and all the business stuff and Richard is the artist and screen-printer.

When you shop small - you make a HUGE impact! We are proud to be a small, independent company based in Denver, CO continuing our commitment to produce small batch quality goods in the USA. We strive to source materials made in the USA. Sometimes this is not possible, in these cases we look for the highest quality and softest materials available! We still print them in our Denver Studio.
