Behind the Chaos | Lavender & Rage

đź–¤ About Me


Hey, I’m Leiren—creator of Lavender & Rage, based in South Carolina and fueled by quarantine boredom, good design, and a little bit of chaos.

This all started in 2020 when I was stuck at home, needed a creative outlet, and figured “why not make some weird stuff that makes people laugh?” I didn’t plan for it to become this, but here we are: vending events, connecting with amazing humans, and running a little trinket empire one sticker, patch, and t-shirt at a time.

Lavender & Rage is run by me (and one of my best friends, who helps with events and 3D printing—shoutout to the real ones 💅). We make and curate alternative accessories, upcycled apparel, and home goods that are funny, angry, queer, cute, and sometimes just ✨unhinged✨ in the best way.

Some of it’s handmade.
Some is sourced and curated with care.
All of it is intentional.
None of it is copied.
And it’s definitely not for people who take themselves too seriously.

I believe in connection, humor, queer joy, and the kind of community that gets built when someone points at a sticker and goes, “Oh my god. That’s me.”

If you’ve ever wanted to feel seen by a keychain or emotionally validated by a patch—welcome. You’re in the right place.

Stay weird. Stay loud. Stay unbothered.
—Leiren 🖤

✨ Why Lavender & Rage?

Because that’s what it feels like to be soft and furious. Tender and tired of everyone’s bullshit. This shop exists for the people who are done shrinking, done apologizing, and done pretending they’re not full of chaotic, creative brilliance.

Lavender is softness. Queerness. Comfort.
Rage is fire. Resistance. The spark behind the sarcasm.

Together, they’re a reminder that you can be healing and messy, handmade and unbothered, anxious and unstoppable.
That’s the energy behind every item in this shop.

🙌 The Crew


Lavender & Rage is proudly built on friendship, rage, and way too many ideas scribbled on sticky notes and random pieces of paper.
While I (Leiren) am the chaotic mind behind the designs, events, and overall feral energy, I’m not doing this alone.

Chelsea, one of my best friend and partner in all things glittery and logistical, helps bring this brand to life. She handles 3D printing magic, works events with me, and is basically the co-pilot of this queer little spaceship. Lavender & Rage wouldn’t be what it is without her—and honestly, neither would I.

This isn’t a brand with a corporate team—it’s just two humans who love weird, meaningful stuff and the community that comes with it.


đź–¤ Our Values

Lavender & Rage is also more than a shop—it’s a safe space wrapped in sass and stickers.

We believe in:

  • Queer joy, trans rights, and LGBTQIA+ liberation

  • Neurodivergent acceptance and accessibility

  • Body positivity, anti-fat bias resistance, and making spaces for everyone

  • Feminism without gatekeeping

  • Creativity that doesn’t ask for permission

This space is intentionally inclusive, fiercely welcoming, and actively anti-bigot.
We don’t do rainbow capitalism. We don’t do “good vibes only.” We do real ones only—messy, magical, and all in.

If you’re looking for a place to feel seen, safe, and a little unhinged in the best way?
You’re home.
And we’re so damn glad you’re here.
