Midnight Velvet got it's beginnings in Monroe, Wisconsin in the year 1982. The products sold by the company may be a bit confusing. Midnight Velvet is one of the companies that sell non-food items. The parent company was Colony Brands, and Swiss Colony, which was founded in 1926 by Ray Cubly. The original corporation owns Midnight Velvet.

I love this store with a true passion. Midnight Velvet sells the most unique and odd furnitures for your home and lifestyle. The company is owned and operated in Wisconsin and the owner is from Wisconsin. I guess she never wanted to leave her home town and started her company there.
