At Fate Fell Collective, I believe clothing should tell a story — your story. Born in  2015, what started as a college side hustle in Las Vegas quickly grew into a creative outlet inspired by desert road trips, tattoo culture, music festivals, and the beauty of our planet. FF has primarily operated as a one‑person show run by me, its founder, and powered by the love and support of family and friends along the way.

FF’s name comes from a lyric in Blink‑182’s song Feeling This — “fate fell short this time.” That line resonated deeply with me and became the spark for a brand built on DIY, the pop-punk scene, and celebrating one‑of‑a‑kind vibes. When I’m told by customers my shop is like if “Zumiez, Hot Topic, & Spencer's all had a baby together”, or that a bag I made from upholstery fabric scraps “looks like if Jack Skellington loved to go surfing“ I know that I’m keeping that original brand vision alive.

I'm passionate about crafting eco-friendly, handmade pieces using locally sourced materials. Every item is designed with care and intention, created only once or in small batch runs. That means when you wear Fate Fell Collective, you’re wearing something truly one-of-a-kind — never mass-produced, never found in a box store.

Over the years, Fate Fell Collective has had the honor of sharing our work with audiences both big and small. I've been a vendor at larger events like Firefly Music Festival, Vans Warped Tour, and Borderland Music Festival, bringing our one-of-a-kind pieces to people who love creativity and self-expression.
I'm just as proud to be part of the local WNY scene, showing up at community favorites such as the Allentown Art Festival, Lewiston Art Festival, and Canal Fest. Whether it’s a massive crowd or a neighborhood gathering, I love connecting with people who appreciate handmade, eco-friendly clothing that celebrates individuality. 

The mission is simple: to celebrate individuality while respecting the planet. Each piece reflects the spirit of adventure, creativity, and community that drives me.
Thank you for being part of our journey. Together, we’re weaving a collective that values uniqueness, sustainability, and self-expression.

Sincerely,
Lex
