About Volante Design

The Beginning

Text adapted from The Origin Story of Volante Design by Willow

Once there was a talented nerdy man, and a woman equal parts water and fire. She stood with her head in the clouds, and her feet firmly planted. He wore black-on-black hightops every single day. They made music together, she was the score, the silences, the conductor, he was the orchestra, the singer, the headliner. They painted the world in their own colors. It is a love story for the ages. Together they make things, large and small. They make meals, homes, coats, stories, paintings, shirts, music, vests, gardens. It's their love language. His medium is fabric. He is a specialist, she a generalist. Together they are unstoppable, resilient, stubborn, graceful and they began what was Volante Design.

The Mission

Their mission was simple. Volante Design built a world of fashion that made people see how exceptional, how extraordinary they are.

The End of an Era

In February of 2026, the end of Volante Design was announced. A variety of econonmic factors proved too difficult to overcome, and the decision was made to wind down operations and close up shop. This announcement came just as Everlight, an original, adventurous space travel story, was set to launch on Kickstarter. The comic was to be the first introduction to the Offworld universe, its clothes, its characters, its general flavor and flair. But it was not to be. Perhaps someday, when the time is right, they will finish up that issue and release it to the world.

The Vanguard

Volante Design has a passionate community that has been built and cultivated over the years. The Volante Vanguard Discord is the primary hub for this open and welcoming community, without whom this site would not exist.
