ABOUT US
Spoiled Honey is a love letter to alt aesthetics, rebels, and weirdos.
We support raw self-expression, zero shame, and being exactly who the hell you are—no edits, no apologies.
We offer made to order apparel and upcycled vintage items in order to provide you with more sustainable, unique, and high quality alternative looks.
We are a very small black woman owned and operated alternative fashion brand.
Our Process
DESIGN
ART IS CREATED IN HOUSE THROUGH DRAWING AND DIGITAL GRAPHIC DESIGN. THE ART IS THEN DESIGNED ONTO A GARMENT, AND A SAMPLE IS ORDERED.
LIST & SELL
ONCE A GARMENT SAMPLE IS RECEIVED AND APPROVED BY US, IT IS THEN LISTED ON OUR SITE AND READY FOR YOU TO ORDER!
PRODUCTION
ONLY WHEN THE PRODUCT IS ORDERED IS IT PRODUCED ONE OF OUR HAND PICKED PARTNER FACILITIES. THIS ENSURES THAT EACH PIECE IS HAND SEWN AND QUALITY TESTED WHILE KEEPING PRODUCTION WASTE LOW.
SHIPPING
AFTER QUALITY TESTING, YOUR ITEM IS THEN SHIPPED OUT TO YOU! SHIPPING TIMES MAY VARY, BE SURE TO CHECK OUT OUR FAQ! MOST ORDERS WILL BE IN YOUR HAND WITHIN 3 WEEKS.
WHY SHOP SLOW FASHION?
LESS TEXTILE WASTE ENDS UP IN LANDFILLS
OUR APPAREL IS ONLY MADE WHEN YOU ORDER, THIS HELPS LESSEN OUR CONTRIBUTION TO OVERPRODUCTION.
HIGHER QUALITY MATERIALS THAN FAST FASHION
Because we do not mass produce, each piece is able to be hand sewn. This means there is a greater attention to detail put into our apparel.
SUPPORT ORIGINAL ARTISTS
OUR APPAREL IS DESIGNED BY A PASSIONATE ARTIST, NOT AN ART DEPARTMENT. FAST FASHION "BORROWS" A LOT OF FROM SMALL DESIGNERS SO THEY ARE ABLE TO STAY ON TREND. THIS LACK OF INTEGRITY MEANS YOU'RE BUYING A LOWER QUALITY VERSION OF SOMEONE ELSE'S WORK.
MEET THE OWNER
Hey babe, I’m Arielle—Ari if I like you.
I’m a 30-something millennial weirdo based in NY, running Spoiled Honey with one hand and fixing tech with the other (for now).
This brand was born in 2023 after I rage-quit a stressful tech gig and finally gave myself the space to breathe. Fashion was my first dream, graphic design became my teenage obsession, and chasing a stable paycheck led me into IT. But after a much-needed break, I said screw it—I’m doing all of it now. Spoiled Honey is my creative rebellion, my DIY runway, and my way of uplifting every Black and LGBTQ+ alt babe who’s ever felt like they didn’t belong.
On my days off, you’ll usually catch me upcycling thrifted clothes, binge-watching horror movies, designing stuff, or blasting a mix of My Chemical Romance, Nirvana, Kendrick, & Doja Cat until my neighbors get concerned.
Spoiled Honey is my way of saying: be loud, be weird, be you. No edits. No apologies.
