About Our Brand

Hi Solmates. We're Von and Darin (a little more about us personally below). 2 mamas with a passion for quality, comfortable, everyday wear. We want this to be a place you find practical, long lasting pieces you actually want to reach for in your closet. This is a family owned and operated business and so much care goes into each individual order. Everything is picked, inspected and packed by us personally. We hope you love it as much as we do. If there's anything we can do to make your shopping experience more enjoyable we'd love your feedback. Email info@cactussolboutique.com.

Why the name Cactus Sol?

Cactuses thrive in harsh conditions and are a symbol of warmth, unconditional, enduring love - like mamas! And Sol because of our Arizona roots.

Hi! I'm Darin.

Co-founder of Cactus Sol Boutique. I’m a full time content creator with a passion for sharing unapologetic parenting takes over school lunch ideas, food recipes, and daily life as a mom/wife. Coming from an unstable household, I joined the workforce at age 15 and at age 20 I enlisted in the US Army to make a better future for myself. 

Having a creative mind, independent way of thinking, and driven work ethic I’ve always had so many business ideas - I just didn’t know where to start. My Aunt Von (co-founder of CSB) and I, both having a passion for clothing with similar taste in style and moms to boys of the same age, realized our lifestyles and desires aligned which was the start of CSB.

We wanted to create a small shop focused on quality, comfortable, everyday wear that makes you feel confident. I’m a perfectionist and every detail of our shop has been carefully thought out. All clothing items have been picked, inspected, and packaged by us personally. We hope you love them as much as we do!

Hello, I'm Von.

 “Creating our own sunshine.” 

Co-Founder of Cactus Sol Boutique. I have a background in HR and Accounting for a renowned solar company with a great passion in helping people and enjoying life.

I’m married to an amazing partner and a proud mom of a 7-year-old boy, with whom was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder at age 2 ½.  With early intervention and continued therapy, our son can attend a mainstream school and thrive. There is so much excitement, bliss, and joy in our heart to share the same energy space with this gem of a human.

Over the years, I have developed a strong set of skills that I have acquired over a long administrative career; however, like many others, I dreamed of starting a small online clothing business for quite some time. I have always enjoyed the fashion industry, travel, and adventure & what better way to pursue this dream, than to be working closely with my niece and now, business partner.

I look forward to creatively launching delightful and attractive clothing pieces that suit the beautiful YOU, perfectly.
