Custom embroidery · San Gabriel Valley

Para las chicas who romanticize everything.

Custom embroidery, live experiences, and thoughtful collaborations for people, bookstores, boutiques, and brands.

Embroidery for the things worth keeping.

La Romántica Threads is an embroidery studio rooted in personalization, creativity, and using what already exists. Bring me something you love, invite me into your shop, or book a live embroidery experience — and we’ll make it feel completely your own.

Ways to work together

Choose your romántica.

I don’t believe embroidery has to mean creating more stuff. My work is about adding meaning to the pieces, merchandise, and moments that already exist.

01 / For you

Custom Embroidery

Bring me something you already love — a thrifted find, favorite jacket, tote, hat, or sentimental piece — and we’ll create embroidery that makes it unmistakably yours.

Personalization · Bookish designs · Monograms · One-of-one commissions
02 / For shops

Bookstores + Boutiques

You already have the inventory. I’ll bring the thread. From in-store embroidery days to limited collaborations, I help independent retailers turn the merchandise they already carry into something personal and memorable.

In-store events · Merchandise personalization · Custom patches · Limited collaborations
03 / For events

Live Embroidery

A mobile embroidery experience where guests choose their detail, watch it come to life stitch by stitch, and leave with something made just for them.

Bookstores · Boutiques · Pop-ups · Brand activations · Private events
The philosophy

Embroidery shouldn’t have to mean more stuff.

Whenever possible, I work with what already exists — your favorite jacket, a thrifted find, merchandise already sitting in a boutique, or pieces already stocked by a bookstore. The goal is simple: make it more personal, more memorable, and more loved.

How it works

Made with intention — for you.

Whether you’re bringing me one beloved piece or planning an event for a crowd, every project starts with a conversation.

01

Tell me what you’re dreaming up

Share what you want embroidered, what it’s going on, or what kind of event or collaboration you’re planning.

02

We’ll shape the details together

I’ll follow up about design direction, placement, thread colors, quantity, timing, and any event logistics that apply.

03

Then we make it yours

Your project is carefully stitched on my embroidery machine in the San Gabriel Valley — thoughtfully made and designed to feel personal.

The Romántica Embroidery Bar

Watch it happen IRL.

I bring the machine, thread, and personalization experience directly to you. Guests choose a design or detail and watch their piece become one-of-a-kind in real time.

Bookstores

Turn a launch, author event, shopping weekend, or reader gathering into an interactive experience that personalizes the merchandise already on your shelves.

Boutiques + Pop-ups

Add customization to your existing assortment and give customers another reason to linger, shop, and leave with something uniquely theirs.

Private + Brand Events

Create an on-site keepsake for guests, clients, or your community with embroidery customized around your event.

hola, I’m the maker behind the machine

A studio for the románticas.

La Romántica Threads grew from a love of beautiful details, personal style, and the little things that make ordinary life feel special.

I wanted to build an embroidery studio that feels thoughtful instead of mass-produced — one where an existing piece can become more personal, a bookstore can create an experience around what it already carries, and guests can watch something meaningful come to life right in front of them.

Everything is stitched on my industrial embroidery machine in the San Gabriel Valley, with plenty of conversation and intention along the way.

con cariño, La Romántica
