Psychic Stitch is an embroidery studio that uses vintage embroidery machines to create one-of-a-kind pieces of wearable art.
Leading with Ethics
As an environmentally conscious company, we are committed to sustainable practices and working towards a smaller footprint. Customizing vintage, used, and already existing garments is an opportunity for creativity that reduces potential waste. This honors both the people who made these clothes and the people who own them now. With conscience and art, clothes become imbued with love.
Vintage machines
Modern approach
Psychic stitch seeks to make clothing precious again by connecting it with a story and purpose through embroidery. As a creative design studio, our mission is to marry the past with the future of clothing. Our use of vintage machines and pre-loved garments is an homage to the past, while our artwork has a unique and modern aesthetic.
Founded by Meredith Allen & Beatrice Kalmar.
With mutual artistic practices at the intersection of fashion and art, Meredith and Beatrice bonded over a love of the abstract and the unique as well as a passion for sustainability. Each founder has individual strengths in the realm of art and design — from pattern making to graphic design, costume design to fine art. These foundational skills plus a passion for embroidery form a complementary and dynamic partnership that is the creative studio of Psychic Stitch.
The pair met working in Los Angeles after graduating from their respective universities. They both hold a Bachelor's Degree in Fashion Design: Meredith from Drexel University and Beatrice from Parsons School of Design.
