O/N stands for OLD over NEW. O/N Custom Clothing is all about rejuvenating an item you already own into a one-of-a-kind textile piece using the Fluorescent City embroidery and appliqué artistic style.
1/ GO SHOPPING. In your closet. Find any second-hand clothing item that you would like customized with hand embroidery and appliqué.
2/ PICK YOUR LEVEL. Purchase using the drop-down price menu below.
3/ MAIL IT. Say bon voyage and pop that clothing item in the mail using the prepaid shipping label emailed to you.
4/ EMBROIDERY MAGIC. Expect about a 2-3 week design process, unless otherwise noted.
5/ WEAR IT, LOVE IT. When the fluorescent-izing of your piece is complete, it will be shipped back to you. Wear it, love it, make new memories with it!
FAQs + A FEW THINGS TO NOTE
Every design is one-of-a-kind and created to embody the individuality of each piece. It is a free-flowing intuitive process I take when working with clothing. The samples shown here are the approach I am currently exploring with O/N, if you have a specific design in mind, please email here.
What items can I send? It’s pretty much anything goes. (sweatshirt, denim, denim jacket, t-shirt, long-sleeve shirt, dress, pants, shorts). Extremely heavy coats or really stretchy fabrics are the hardest to work with, if you have questions, email here.
How should I care for my O/N piece? A care instruction card will be sent with each O/N piece but spot cleaning/hand washing or washing in cold water (preferably inside out and in a garment bag) is recommended, lay flat to dry. The fabric of your piece may also dictate the washing method.
Just a reminder: O/N is not meant to be an alterations program or simply just to fix a missing button or tear (while simple rips/tears/stains/missing buttons can definitely be addressed in the re-envisioning process).
