About

Welcome to Native Queens Design, where culture meets fashion in a celebration of indigenous creativity. Founded by Virginia Queen Hedrick, Native Queens Design is a passion project born from a deep reverence for tribal heritage and a commitment to ensuring Native fashion is affordable and accessible.

At the heart of Native Queens Design lies a dedication to honoring traditional designs while infusing it with contemporary flair. The vision is brought to life through crafted apparel, designed in collaboration with California tribal artists, including regalia makers and basket weavers. Each piece is a testament to the rich tapestry of California culture, blending age-old patterns with modern fabrics.

The name "Native Queens Design" holds a special significance, serving as both a nod to Virginia's own middle name and a reflection of her belief that we are all royalty in our own right. It embodies the empowerment and strength inherent in indigenous identity, inviting everyone to embrace their individual worth and dignity. More than just a clothing line, Native Queens Design is a statement of pride and resilience; offering affordable, inclusive, and accessible fashion. 

The first collection released in May 2024 is a designer collaboration with artist, Molli Myers. Molli Myers is a member of the Karuk Tribe and traditional basket weaver and regalia maker. She is a long time community organizer, Klamath River activist and serves as the COO of Ridges to Riffles.
