About Us  

Coo Coo Couture was founded by Lorna Mainess who was inspired through her love for "all things vintage" to create new, fresh, and unique looks from old clothes. Her dream was discovered in 2014, when seeing a dress with stunning fabric while thrift shopping. She saw the raw beauty of this garment but recognized it was simply too “out-of-date” to be worn. After making some adjustments and adding a few accessories to the dress, it would morph into something fabulous! This birthed the idea to create a unique boutique of unconventional, old, and/or revised clothes. This vision was shared with her mom, the late Dr. Earlene Dotson, who thought the idea was wonderful and encouraged her to go all the way with this vision. A few years later, her dream would become a reality.
