Velvet Slipper Divine was conceived by Houstonian Vivian Wise to offer "destination shopping experiences" featuring one-of-a-kind designer luxury goods - often (but not always) presented in a custom-designed Airstream travel trailer named "Babette."

"I am thankful to Vivian and Velvet Slipper Divine for supporting me in developing my client base and being so gracious as to introduce me to the Aspen fashion and social scene," commented Jonathan Blake. "Vivian and her Velvet Slipper Divine concept are great matches for me because they go to key markets that are important to my demographic and my growth plans. Aspen has the enviable reputation as a popular luxury destination for Houstonians and discriminating consumers from all over the world. Aspen shoppers expect quality construction, luxurious fabrics and captivating designs, and they tend to be open and accepting of new designers."

Only 21 at the time, Jonathan Blake launched a line of women's couture fashions in October 2012 in Houston and is gaining popularity throughout the United States and overseas. He introduced handbags in April 2014.
