How do I care for and store my light-up festival accessories between events?
To maximize the lifespan of your light-up festival accessories, proper care and storage is essential! After each use, gently clean any adhesive products with isopropyl alcohol on a cotton swab. For accessories with fabric elements, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Always remove batteries from your light-up products before storing to prevent corrosion. Store your accessories in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade colors and damage electronic components. For hats and larger accessories, keep them in their original packaging or a sturdy box to maintain their shape. With proper care, most of our festival accessories can be enjoyed for multiple events and seasons!
Can I customize light-up accessories for group events or special occasions?

What is a Neon Cowboy?
A Neon Cowboy represents the fusion of Western heritage with modern light-up technology – it's where traditional cowboy culture meets festival fashion! The term embodies our brand philosophy of reimagining classic western wear with cutting-edge LED technology to create unique, eye-catching accessories for festivals, concerts, and events. Neon Cowboys started with our iconic light-up neon cowboy hat in 2014, which quickly became a festival staple at events like Stagecoach and Coachella. Since then, the concept has expanded to include a full range of light-up western-inspired accessories that help you stand out in any crowd. A Neon Cowboy is someone who embraces both tradition and innovation, bringing vibrant energy to western fashion and festival culture!
Who is the owner of Neon Cowboys?
Neon Cowboys was founded in 2014 by Asia Hall, a Black and Chinese woman entrepreneur, inventor, and fashion designer. Asia created the original light-up cowboy hat while attending music festivals and noticing the need for functional, fashionable accessories that stood out in nighttime environments. With her background in fashion design, computer science and technology, she invented and patented the light-up cowboy hat technology, building Neon Cowboys from a single innovative product into a comprehensive festival fashion brand. As a minority female founder in the tech and fashion space, Asia has been recognized for her innovative approach to wearable technology and festival fashion. Her vision continues to guide the brand as it expands its product offerings while maintaining its commitment to quality, creativity, and inclusive western-inspired style.
Where is Neon Cowboys located?
Neon Cowboys is headquartered in Los Angeles, California, where all our light-up designs are conceptualized and developed. While our design and business operations are based in LA, we've grown into a global brand shipping our light-up festival accessories to customers worldwide. Our products have been featured at events across the US and internationally, from Stagecoach Festival in California to music festivals in Europe and Australia. Though we don't currently operate physical retail locations, you can find our full collection here on our website, with select products occasionally available through festival pop-ups and collaborative retail partnerships. Our Los Angeles roots influence our designs, combining West Coast festival culture with Western aesthetic for a unique fashion perspective.
Where is the cowboy hat from and how was it invented?
The iconic light-up cowboy hat was invented by our founder Asia Hall in 2014. As a festival attendee and fashion enthusiast, Asia noticed there wasn't anything that combined Americana style with LED lighting. She created the first prototype by integrating light technology into a traditional cowboy hat structure, ensuring it was lightweight, durable, and festival-friendly. After numerous iterations to perfect the design, she secured a utility patent for the technology and began producing the hats for festival-goers. The original design was crafted in Los Angeles, where we continue to develop all our products today. What started as a solution to a personal need – owning her uniqueness & living up the moment while attending her favorite music festivals – has evolved into the signature product of a growing lifestyle brand focused on innovative light-up accessories.
Do celebrities wear Neon Cowboys products?
Yes! Our light-up accessories have been spotted on numerous celebrities and have been featured in high-profile media. Most notably, Beyoncé wore our custom-made LED harness during her Cowboy Carter vinyl record cover photoshoot, which helped bring western rave fashion to the mainstream. Other celebrities who have worn our products include Selena Gomez, Dua Lipa, Kacey Musgraves, Diplo, Megan Thee Stallion, Doechii, Missy Elliott and Kesha. Our light-up cowboy hats have appeared at major award shows, music videos, and fashion events. We've also collaborated with artists and performers to create custom pieces for tours and special performances, bringing our unique blend of technology and western fashion to global audiences. The celebrity embrace of Neon Cowboys has helped establish our brand as the leading pioneer in light up fashion technology.
How does Neon Cowboys support inclusivity in western fashion?
As a Black and Chinese woman-owned brand, Neon Cowboys has been committed to inclusivity in western fashion since day one. Our founder Asia Hall recognized that traditional western wear often lacked diversity in both representation and design, which inspired her to create products that welcome everyone into western aesthetics regardless of background. Our approach to Americana cowboy fashion breaks down stereotypes about who "belongs" in cowboy culture, making it accessible and appealing to people from all walks of life. We believe that western-inspired fashion should be for everyone, and our colorful, innovative approach helps create a more inclusive space within festival culture and beyond.
How sustainable are Neon Cowboys products?
We're committed to continuously improving the sustainability of our products while maintaining their quality and durability. Many of our light-up accessories are designed to be reusable across multiple events, reducing the need for single-use festival fashion & disposable light up products. We use replaceable batteries in most of our products to extend their lifespan, and our adhesives are specifically chosen to be reusable with proper care. As a small business, we make sustainability improvements incrementally, listening to customer feedback and implementing changes as technology and materials advance. We also offer repair guidance to help customers extend the life of their products rather than replacing them – just reach out to our customer service team for assistance!
What's the story behind the name "Neon Cowboys"?
The name "Neon Cowboys" perfectly captures our brand's essence – the intersection of traditional western heritage (Cowboys) with modern, vibrant technology (Neon). When founder Asia Hall was developing her first light-up cowboy hat in 2014, she wanted a name that would instantly communicate the product's unique combination of western style and illuminated technology. "Neon Cowboys" emerged as the perfect representation of this fusion, evoking images of classic western iconography reimagined through a contemporary, colorful lens. The name also pays homage to the neon signs that have been fixtures in western bars, rodeos, and country music venues for decades, connecting our modern LED technology to earlier forms of illuminated western culture. Since then, "Neon Cowboys" has grown from a product name into a lifestyle brand, party theme and even a descriptive term for the festival-going community who embrace our western-meets-electronic aesthetic.
