Deadly Little Creature was formed by Charissa DeGrave in early 2024. It started as a small Etsy store to showcase designs that she had originally made for herself to wear. It then slowly transformed into a brand with hopes to reach others. Charissa wanted to share her vision and beliefs after finding her own confidence when she decided to embrace the darkness that she had always been drawn to.

At Deadly Little Creature, we believe that power and true confidence lie within embracing every facet of yourself—even the parts that others may fear or misunderstand. Our collection is designed to inspire a sense of mystery, grace, and resilience, allowing you to wear your confidence with poise and purpose.

Step into the darkness, and let it reveal your strength.

The values of Deadly Little Creature center around empowerment, authenticity, individuality, and elegance in darkness.

1. Empowerment through Darkness
   Embracing one’s darker side can be a profound source of confidence. We encourage people to find strength and self-assurance in the aspects of themselves that may not always be celebrated.
2. Authenticity
   Our brand is built on being unapologetically true to oneself. It celebrates those who aren’t afraid to walk their own path, honoring individuality and unique self-expression without conforming to mainstream aesthetics.
3. Elegance and Class
   Every piece is designed with a refined yet bold aesthetic, blending minimalist design with striking elements. There are plenty of brands that have the kitschy style of dark aesthetic down & it works well for them. We wanted something with more refinement for the days you want to embody power & strength but don't want to go all out.
4. Connection to the Darkness
   Rooted in themes like gothic, dark nature, and mythology, we reflect a love for the mysterious, mystical, and untamed. It speaks to those who find inspiration and beauty in the power of nature and the rich stories of ancient lore.
5. Inspiring Confidence and Resilience
   We aim to give people the confidence to face life’s challenges with resilience, turning their inner strength into a source of beauty and self-expression.
