“Where second-hand becomes one-of-a-kind!”
Custom hand-embroidery on clothing
Have a piece in your wardrobe that you love but don’t wear anymore? You can give it a whole new life. Simply send in your own garment, and together we’ll create a custom embroidered design that feels uniquely yours. Or perhaps you have a very specific idea of a garment that is currently not in my shop, nor in your wardrobe. I am happy to thrift on your behalf. Whether you want subtle floral details, symbolic imagery, or bold artistic embroidery, I would love to bring your garment to life.
How It Works:
Contact me to start your custom hand embroidery project.
We discuss placement, size, style, and budget.
You receive two design proposals.
Once approved, your garment is carefully hand embroidered.
Your unique piece is shipped back to you within the EU.
Hand-embroidered Upcylced Garments
In this shop you’ll find a constantly changing selection of (second-hand) garments that have been carefully transformed with embroidery. Each piece starts with a pre-loved item and is given a new story through hand-stitched details, making every garment truly one of a kind. Additionally you’ll find beautiful accessories to brighten up any outfit.
No mass production, no duplicates – just thoughtfully reworked clothing that celebrates individuality and sustainability. New pieces are added regularly, so there’s always something fresh to discover. Whether you’re looking for a subtle accent or a bold statement, every item here is made to be worn, loved, and lived in again.

My Passion for Embroidery
Welcome to my little corner of the internet! I appreciate your visit!
Embroidery has always been a creative outlet for me — a way to bring art to life through fabric and thread. I am particularly passionate about giving second-hand clothing a new purpose by embellishing it with unique embroidered designs. This approach not only adds personality and beauty to each piece, but also supports sustainability and the reuse of clothing.
In my work, I draw inspiration from Broderie d’Art techniques, which are also used in haute couture. These intricate methods allow me to transform ordinary garments into one-of-a-kind creations that blend craftsmanship, fashion, and environmental awareness. Through embroidery, I aim to combine tradition with sustainability, giving every item a renewed story and a touch of artistry. This is not fast embroidery.
Every stitch is placed by hand in my studio in Middelburg. I believe in:
Sustainable fashion
Upcycling existing garments
Creating wearable art that lasts
Meaningful, slow craftsmanship
Choosing hand embroidery means choosing uniqueness over mass production.
From since before my love for couture embroidery, I have passionately been cross stitching. Designing cross stitch patterns allows me to explore structure, symmetry, and color in a different way. I enjoy the thoughtful process of creating each design and the rhythm of stitching, where every small stitch contributes to a larger composition. For me, cross stitch is a beautiful balance between precision, creativity, and design.
