Inspired by The Vampire Diaries and all things supernatural, this brand is deeply rooted in the charm of Covington, GA—the iconic filming location of the show and home to my family legacy spanning almost a century. Launched in June 2024, Ratherbie Apparel was born from a heartfelt vision: to blend my love for Covington's enchanting Downtown Square, my passion for creativity and self-expression, and my unapologetic obsession with the show and its vibrant fandom.

My name is Courtney, and I’m the founder and creative director of Ratherbie. With over 20 years of professional experience in art direction and design, I’m passionate about any creative challenge. I live in "Mystic Falls" with my husband and kids. While I wasn't living in Covington at the time, I was fortunate enough to witness the occasional TVD episode filmed on location.

From design to execution, the entire creative process takes place right here in "Mystic Falls" (Covington, GA). Due to the nature of it being a small business – as we continue to grow – the products will be made-to-order in small batches. Lead times may take a tad longer than usual. Please know the number one goal is to get your order to you as soon as possible.
