Trash Queen was created by me, Paige! I'm a nb, plus sized, disabled, 27 year old graphic designer and illustrator, and I also run a fashion blog in my spare time. For Trash Queen, I'm the sole owner, maker, designer, fulfiller, everything!
I started selling items under the brand name "Trash Queen" online in 2014, and started out selling just a few small accessories. As the shop grew, I was able to sell t-shirts, and then more complex garments like skater dresses, skirts, and tights! Every year the business and my vision for it grows a bit more!
larger businesses online, but we're
actually a super tiny small business.
BY DAY
I work as a graphic designer
for a major lingerie company.
BY NIGHT (& WEEKENDS)
I work on all aspects of the business:
design, writing, making, and fulfilling.
ALL THE TIME
I'm generally the one responding to

the below list is a good idea of what you

before packing orders up and sealing them with a
cute little logo sticker to make their way over to you!
