Founder of SugarFur · Los Angeles

Hi, I’m Ashley.

Ashley Frye-Barnes

I’m the founder of SugarFur, a Los Angeles brand creating LED faux-fur apparel and accessories. I’m building a world that’s a little softer, brighter, and more playful.

The story behind the glow

The glow is
the point.

I fell in love with light-up coats at Burning Man. When I couldn’t find one that matched what I imagined — beautiful, well-made, and reasonably priced — I decided to create it myself.

My daughter helped me name SugarFur. What started as an idea became a brand built around that feeling: putting something on and instantly feeling more like your playful, colorful self.

Now I’m focused on making the glow even better, from the softness of the fur to the way the lights feel and move.
