Vivid_Threads

I never planned to start a clothing brand. Growing up, I was the kid doodling on homework instead of solving math problems. But those scribbles felt alive like they deserved more than a life trapped in a notebook. Fast-forward to my first “real” job, and I’ll admit it: I spent meetings daydreaming about turning my weird little sketches into something people could wear. Then came 2020. Stuck in my tiny apartment, I started screen-printing designs on thrifted tees just to stay sane. My best friend, Luna, became my unofficial quality control manager (she’s brutally honest—if she doesn’t say, “This is fire,” it gets scrapped). Friends kept saying, “You should sell these,” but I shrugged it off… until Luna wore one of my “Chaotic Good Vibes” shirts to her job interview. She got the job and texted, “This shirt made me feel invincible [sic].” That’s when I knew I had to try. Vivid-Thread isn’t some fairy-tale “passion project.” It’s messy. It’s me learning to embrace typos, battling printer jams at 2 a.m., and obsessing over whether a teal hue is “moody ocean” or just… teal. Every design here is a tiny piece of my story—like the floral pattern inspired by my grandma’s 1970s wallpaper or the “Talk Nonsense to Me” slogan for anyone who’s survived an awkward family dinner. I’m not here to sell you a “lifestyle.” I just want to make clothes that feel like a secret handshake for your soul. And because I’m a paranoid eco-nerd, I teamed up with Zazzle to keep things sustainable. (Luna insists we respect Mother Earth, and honestly, she’s the boss.) So whether you’re here for a laugh, a quiet middle finger to boring fashion, or a tee soft enough to survive your next existential crisis welcome. Let’s make getting dressed the best part of your day.
