Materials & Fit
Materials & Fit
T-Shirts:
100% Organic ringspun combed cotton. 180gsm. Unisex fit.
No waistband. Size up for an oversized fit.
Sweatshirts & Hoodies:
80% Ringspun cotton, 20% polyester. 280gsm. Unisex fit.
1x1 rib cuffs, waistband, and collar. Size up for an oversized fit.
Please note: The design is embroidered on a backing. The backing catches the thread on the other side to keep the design secure and make sure it lasts long. It might be slightly stiff upon reception due to travel, but it will soften up and come away after many washes but this will not affect your item as it is stitched into the fabric of the garment. You can read more about that here. If you are sensitive to textures please size up.

The Power of Music
“When I tell people why I love music, I always say that to me it's the closest thing we've got to magic. It's a type of connection that transcends all barriers...
From Melody to Masterpiece
...think about going to a gig for example - you've got 60k people singing along to the same songs for 60k reasons, but you're still connected because of the love that you've got for the music.”
Bringing Music to Life
“The magic comes from being able to translate something abstract into a visual piece of work, and then the threads bring it to life.”

FAQs
How long is your processing time? +
At the moment my processing time on all orders is 25 business days as every item is handmade to order. In case of an order with multiple items, they may not be ready at the same time and will be shipped out once all items are ready.
In case of an issue with a specific item, orders will be shipped out once all items are ready. If you'd prefer to have the order partially dispatched please let me know!

If you need something by a specific date, please email me before placing your order. In some cases, I can fast-track production for a small priority fee (depending on current workload and shipping destination).

EU: 2-5 business days delivery aim, import tax included - signed delivery.
International: 2-5 business days delivery aim - signed delivery.
Need it for a specific date? +
I know many of my embroidered pieces are bought as special gifts. While my standard crafting time is 25 working days, I do offer a Fast-Track service for rush orders. If you have a tight deadline, please contact me before ordering, and I will do our best to prioritise your piece.
I received my embroidered order, but there is a white material behind the design, what is this? +
All embroidered designs are are embroidered on a white backing. Embroidery backing is vital to producing high-quality designs as it protects the garment, the stitching and the machinery!
The design is embroidered straight through the material and the backing catches the thread on the other side to keep the design secure. Eventually, this will start to come away after many washes but this will not affect your item as it is stitched into the fabric of the garment.
The size of the backing is the size of the design.
