Welcome To My World: Why I Make Handmade Tie Dye (And Why It Matters)

If you’ve ever held one of my tie‑dye pieces in your hands, you already know this isn’t fast fashion. It’s not mass‑produced. It’s not printed by a machine in a warehouse. Every swirl, stripe, burst, and color blend is done by hand — by me or Grant — in our little home workshop in Roswell, GA.


People ask me all the time: “Why tie‑dye? Why handmade? Why not just buy blanks and resell?”

Because that’s not who I am.


I make tie‑dye because I love color. I love the mess. I love the moment when you rinse out a piece and see what the universe decided to do with it. No two pieces ever come out the same, and that’s the magic. It’s art you can wear.


I also make everything by hand because I want people to feel something when they put it on — joy, confidence, nostalgia, boldness, whatever they need that day. Clothing should make you feel alive, not invisible.


And yes, it takes longer. Yes, it’s messy. Yes, I’ve ruined more shirts than I care to admit. But every piece that does turn out right? It’s worth it. It’s personal. It’s mine. And when it becomes yours, it carries that energy with it. I always tell people, I can't pick a tie dye for you. Its personal and the tie dye picks you.


So if you’re here because you love color, creativity, and things made with real hands and real heart — welcome. You’re my people.
