A Special Gift for the Crew

Celebrate your favorite people with jackets made especially for your big day. From bridesmaids and moms to flower girls and the rest of your “I Do” crew, each jacket is thoughtfully customized to create a keepsake they’ll love long after the celebration is over.

Whether you’re dreaming of coordinated details, personalized touches, or something completely unique, we’ll work together to create jackets that capture the spirit of your day and feel perfectly you.

Outfitting the whole crew? Special pricing is available when ordering multiple jackets. Reach out to share a little about your wedding party and what you have in mind, and we’ll create something special for everyone.

A Little Something for the Bride

Looking for a creative, one-of-a-kind gift for your bride? Let’s make her something she’ll never forget. A custom jacket is a meaningful way for the bridal party, maid of honor, or family to surprise her with something made just for her.

From incorporating lace from her dress and adding her favorite colors to creating a design inspired by her personality, we can work together to make a truly personal piece she can wear throughout her wedding celebrations—and treasure long after the “I dos.”

Bridal Jackets start at $75.00. Prices may vary based on requests.

Complete our custom inquiry form and tell us about your dream jacket. Whether you have inspiration photos, a favorite color palette, or just a spark of an idea, we'll work with you to create a design that's uniquely yours.

2. Choose Your Jacket or Textile

Already have a favorite jean jacket that's been hanging in your closet? We'd be happy to transform it into your dream jacket! We also love incorporating meaningful textiles, such as vintage linens, lace, flannel shirts, quilts, or even fabrics with sentimental value.

Don't have a jacket? No problem! We can source the perfect thrifted denim jacket based on your preferred size, fit, and wash, giving it a beautiful second story.

3. Design Your One-of-a-Kind Piece

Together, we'll choose the perfect combination of fabrics, lace, ruffles, appliqués, embroidery, and finishing details to create a jacket that's uniquely you. Before we begin sewing, you'll receive a design plan and price quote for your approval.

4. Handmade with Love

Once your design is approved, the transformation begins! Every jacket is handcrafted in our Rhode Island studio with care, creativity, and attention to detail. (And yes—Coco, our four-legged quality control manager, is usually keeping a close eye on things from her favorite spot behind the sewing machine.)

5. Wear Your Story

When your jacket is complete, we'll share photos for your final approval before arranging pickup or shipping. Then it's time to enjoy a one-of-a-kind jacket that's as unique as the person wearing it.

From His Closet to Yours

A favorite button-down shirt holds more than fabric—it holds memories. Whether it's Dad's well-loved work shirt, Grandpa's favorite flannel, a husband's dress shirt that deserves a second life, or a shirt from a new dad who's ready to share his style with his little one, we'll transform it into something beautiful you'll treasure for years to come.

Every shirt has a story. We'd love to help write its next chapter.

Each piece is thoughtfully handcrafted in our Rhode Island studio with attention to every detail. (And yes, Coco is usually supervising from her favorite spot behind the sewing machine!)

🧵 Every piece is handcrafted and completely one of a kind.

Memory Mittens: Warm Hands, Cherished Memories

Some sweaters hold more than warmth—they hold memories. Whether it's Grandpa's favorite fishing sweater, Mom's cozy cardigan, or a beloved sweatshirt that reminds you of someone special, we'd be honored to help preserve those memories in a way you can wear and treasure.

Our Memory Mittens are handcrafted from your loved one's sweater or other meaningful textile, creating beautiful keepsakes that can be shared with family and passed down for years to come. One sweater can often be transformed into multiple pairs of mittens, allowing siblings, children, or grandchildren to each have a piece of someone they love.

The Custom Mitten Process

1. Tell Us Your Story

Complete our custom inquiry form and share a little about your project. Whether you're creating Memory Mittens from a loved one's clothing or simply giving a favorite sweater a second life, we'd love to hear the story behind it.

2. Send or Drop Off Your Sweater

Have a favorite sweater you'd like us to use? Wonderful! We'll carefully evaluate the fabric and use the best sections to showcase its colors, textures, and character.

Don't have a sweater? No worries! We also create custom mittens from carefully selected thrifted wool sweaters that are perfect for a cozy second life.

3. Design Your Mittens

We'll discuss sizing, lining options, cuff styles, and any special requests to make your mittens both beautiful and practical. If you're creating Memory Mittens, we'll thoughtfully plan the layout to make the most of your treasured garment.

4. Handmade with Love

Each pair is individually cut, sewn, and finished in our Rhode Island studio with care and attention to every detail. And, as always, Coco—our four-legged quality control manager—is usually keeping watch from her favorite spot behind the sewing machine.

5. Treasure the Memories

When your mittens are complete, we'll send photos before arranging pickup or shipping. Whether you're keeping them for yourself or sharing them with family, you'll have a beautiful reminder that love can be stitched into every seam.
