Things Above Custom Apparel started with a simple idea—helping people bring their creativity to life through custom apparel. Founded by husband-and-wife duo Matthew and Sarah Kwa, we’re a family-owned small business rooted in Arcadia, CA, passionate about making high-quality, meaningful pieces that tell your story.

Every design has a purpose—whether you’re launching a clothing brand, creating merch for your business, outfitting a team, or making something special just for you. That’s why we offer multiple production methods to match your look, feel, and budget:

• DTG (Direct-to-Garment) for vibrant, full-color prints with a soft hand—perfect for detailed artwork and short runs.

• DTF (Direct-to-Film) for bold, durable prints that pop on more fabric types and tricky placements.

• Embroidery for a premium, textured finish on hats, polos, jackets, and more—built to last and look sharp.

Everything is made to order to reduce waste and keep things sustainable—good for you and good for the planet. And with no minimums, you can order exactly what you need, when you need it.

At the heart of it all, we’re here to make your vision a reality. So whether you're an artist, entrepreneur, or just someone with a creative spark, let’s bring your ideas to life—one shirt, hoodie, hat, or custom piece at a time.

From our family to yours, welcome to Things Above Custom Apparel. We can’t wait to create with you!

Our Mission.
