How the story goes:
The original skirt was a gift to Sherry Lou while visiting a Navajo grandmother in Arizona. That skirt became the unique pattern and inspiration for the entire line of Navajo Velvets. Returning to her home in the rugged mountains of Southwest Oregon’s Illinois Valley, she replicated that original Navajo Skirt. Using her treadle sewing machine, Sherry Lou began satisfying the requests of friends and neighbors. Now after so many years later, several sewing machines worn out through more than 10,000 garments made, she still brings joy to the eyes and hearts of an ever growing clientele.
Each year Sherry Lou travels to Los Angeles and selects the fabric for each Navajo Velvet garment. She personally does the dying, design and cutting of each garment. Supervising each step in the process if not doing it herself, she demonstrates her love for the quality of each and every piece. Which by the way, must meet the expectations of her extremely critical eye, or it is not finished.
Everywhere, including the upscale stores and boutiques of Santa Fe, Vale and Aspen, the smart design and superb quality of Navajo Velvets continue to strike a heart felt chord in outdoor women throughout the West.
Navajo Velvet always draws the admiring eye and invites a loving caress.
We know you will enjoy the stylish comfort, freedom, and acceptance for every occasion...
with Navajo Velvet!
