Twenty Years of EnRinged Life: Reflecting with Meridien Design

People often ask me what keeps me at this after two decades. The truth is, Velv'Or was never just about a product—it’s a lifestyle, a refusal to hide behind taboos, and an ongoing commitment to anatomical design and individual expression.

Recently, I had the pleasure of sitting down for an incredible conversation with Rouen over at Meridien Design. We dove into everything from the early days of bending a plain silver O-ring over a pipe borrowed from a bicycle shop in 2006, to the realities of navigating an industry shifted by venture capitalists, and why the old myth that "sex sells" completely misses the point.

Rouen captured the essence of what it means to be EnRinged and EnRiched—and why true craftsmanship and open conversations matter more than ever.

If you want a peek behind the curtain into twenty years of evolution, architectural design, and the path of Velv'Or, give the full feature a read:
