Crisitina Small (Crisi) is an entrepreneur from Brooklyn, NY that has turned her Crochet hobby into sought after designs. Her brand Bonnie Velvet is Hand crafted Crochet designs from Dresses, Skirts, Hats and more.
Watching her Mom Crochet as a child she’d eventually take interest and begin doing it herself. It was also a form of Art therapy and as she continued her Craft grew naturally. Since she was already in the Fashion world doing Sewing it was a smooth transition. She is entrenched in the Art world and enjoys using different colors, patterns and creations.
Crisi made her first piece in 2020 and after posting it online got 15 orders in 2 days. She started out with Bikini Sets and Chokers. Once the Ball got rolling she never looked back. This would led to opportunities to style artist & models, and the chance to showcase her brand to a wider audience.
Her designs display themes of 90s anesthetics, surrealism, and color theory. Crisi believes in her brand as she is active on social media promoting it, doing Fashion shows, and networking with other designers. As much as talent is involved she also has the entrepreneurial spirit. She’s focused on pushing the boundaries and building the brand.
