Custom Magic: What “custom” really means

Think of Custom Magic as commissioning a wearable work of art. These pieces take extra time, attention, and love — and I never duplicate a design. Each garment is truly one-of-a-kind.

Why choose Custom Magic over “Upcycle Your Closet”?

  • Bigger fabric needs: Custom pieces use far more fabric and more complex construction, so they’re a different process than simple closet upcycles.

  • Originality guaranteed: I won’t recreate something I’ve already made. Your piece will be unique — no doubles, no mass production.

  • Collaborative and guided: You get my design expertise plus a chance to contribute materials and ideas. It’s co-creation with a craftsperson.

What I make — custom options:

  • Ninja-Style Hoodie

    • Construction: Built from reclaimed t-shirts and quilted cotton for structure, warmth, and texture.

    • Features: Hood with layered panels, reinforced quilted yokes, hidden pockets, adjustable closures, and raw-edge detailing.

    • Customizable: Color palates, fit, and more!

  • Kimono-Style Duster

    • Construction: Lightweight to midweight options using denim, t-shirts, and sweatshirt material for versatile drape and durability.

    • Features: Open-front kimono silhouette, wide sleeves, reinforced seams, and artful patchwork panels.

    • Customizable: Fabric combinations (denim sleeve with sweatshirt body, tshirt patchwork panels, etc.), length (waist to ankle), cuff styles, lining choices, and decorative stitching or appliqué.

  • Blanket Duster

    • Construction: Cozy, oversized dusters made from reclaimed t-shirts and cotton for maximum comfort and visual interest.

    • Features: Plush, roomy fit, mix-and-match panels, deep pockets, and exposed seam accents.

    • Customizable: Blanket source/weight, panel patterning, edge finishes (fringe, raw hem, bound), and bold color combos.

Why choose Re-KDC custom:

  • Sustainable roots: We repurpose quality textiles—less waste, more style.

  • True customization: You control fabrics, fit, and details. We translate ideas into wearable art.

  • Limited runs or one-offs: Perfect for creators, small brands, performers, or anyone who wants exclusivity.

How it works

  • You supply the base garment (the canvas).

  • I supply the filler fabrics: colors, patterns, and patchwork that match your chosen vibe (think color palettes, themes, big patchwork, small details, etc.).

  • Purchase the “Custom Magic” item to lock it in — this acts as your deposit and goes toward the final price.

  • We team up: I’ll ask what you want and offer savvy thrifting suggestions so you can hunt pieces that will elevate the design.

  • YOU send your items in! (If you’re a Duluth local, please let me know! I have a drop off for you!)

  • Bring more fabrics you already own and receive a larger deduction off the final cost (Up to 5 items may be sent for up to $25 off your final cost).

Pricing and timeline

  • The Custom Magic deposit secures your spot, goes toward your final price and begins the design conversation.

  • Because these items require more time and meticulous patchwork, timelines are longer than standard upcycles. We’ll agree on specifics up front.

Let’s make something wild, wearable, and totally yours. Purchase “Custom Magic,” send over your base garment, and let’s create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece together.
