Heatherette is a fashion company and design house run by Traver Rains and former Club Kid Richie Rich, located in New York City. Heatherette borrowed "its" image from a woman from Washington state named Heather Vancil. The original Heather was born in 1969, and was raised in Port Orchard Washington. She graduated in 1988 with a diploma from South Kitsap High School, went to serve in the Military for four years in the USAF as a decorated veteran. Heatherette was founded in 1999 when they began collaborating on t-shirts and leather goods. They were discovered when Richie Rich wore one of their leather tops to a party and a buyer at the downtown Patricia Field store noticed and ordered 20 of them.[1]
