FAQ
What makes your pieces so special?
Each of my pieces, it being sweatshirts, shoes, or rugs, are all 1of1. Meaning I don’t remake previous concepts. Each piece you see is unique to its own. However, I can reuse the same reference image, just with a different concept(different color sweatshirt/shoe or size of rug)
What’s your process? (Sweatshirts/shoes/rugs)
1. Sweatshirts: Each piece is handcrafted by me. I hand pick used sweatshirts from thrifts stores or resellers to give them extra life. Each piece is washed thoroughly before being worked on. After being cleaned and checked for wear/tear/stains, my process begins. From deconstructing to reconstructing, on average, it takes me 8 hrs for each piece.
2. Shoes: Shoes are only available for custom order. I take shoe orders periodically, there isn’t really a set schedule. Just whenever I feel up for it. Each pair is bought new. Each shoe is hand painted using acrylic paint. After everything is painted on the shoe, I add a clear coat to protect the painted area from scuffs, scratches or water. Process from beginning to end, takes roughly 3/5 weeks. I of course keep you updated with pictures weekly. Before taking an order, I discuss reference image and placement with you to figure out the best concept. I only take shoe orders through instagram DM, so reach out if interested!
3. Rugs: Like shoes, I only take custom rug orders. Each rug is made by Leah, second half of 76desrosas. Rug orders are taken through instagram DM. When you reach out, we will discuss reference image, size, shape and other specific details. After your order info is taken, her process starts. Roughly, the process takes about 2/5 weeks, with weekly updates!
Pricing
1. Sweatshirts: Each piece is priced uniquely. Price depends on the quality of the base sweatshirt used and the concept used with it, but on average each piece ranges from $80-$300. Not including shipping
2. Shoes: Likewise, each pair is priced uniquely. Pricing depends on what shoe, size and concept used. Ballpark, $150-$400. That’s including new pair of kicks, labor and shipping.
3. Rugs: To reiterate again, each rug is priced uniquely. Price depends on the concept, size, and shape. Ballpark, $200-$900. That includes labor, material and shipping.
Do you take customs?
I do! Shoes and rugs are exclusively by custom order, but for sweatshirts, I open around 24 slots every month for those interested in a custom piece. I announce via instagram story when the time comes. I use brand new sweatshirts for custom orders, but if you request for a thrifted piece to be used, that is also possible. I don’t take personal sweatshirts, only from my inventory.
How do customs work?
I accept custom orders via instagram DM. I announce the details (date/time) on my instagram story a few days before. When the time comes, it is first come first serve. When you DM, make sure to include:
- reference image
- your size
- your preferred color
- your preferred style (hoodie/crewneck/zip-up)
After we discuss your concept, I will accept payment, then and only then will your order be confirmed! Once your order is confirmed, my process begins! Taking 2/4 weeks, updating you with pictures every week.
