WHAT WE DO
Family-Owned Custom Printing & Embroidery in Arcadia, California
At Things Above Custom Apparel, we believe custom clothing should feel personal, meaningful, and made with care. What started as a simple idea—helping people bring their creativity to life through apparel—has grown into a trusted, family-owned custom print shop serving Arcadia, CA and the greater Los Angeles area.
Founded by husband-and-wife team Matthew and Sarah Kwa, we’re a small business built on craftsmanship, community, and creating high-quality custom pieces that help tell your story.
Whether you're launching a clothing brand, producing merchandise for your business, outfitting a school or sports team, or designing something special for an event or fundraiser, we’re here to make the process easy and enjoyable.
To match your style, fabric, and budget, we offer multiple professional decoration methods:
- DTG (Direct-to-Garment) Printing
Vibrant, full-color prints with a soft feel—perfect for detailed artwork and small batch orders. - DTF (Direct-to-Film) Transfers
Bold, durable designs that work on a wide variety of materials and unique placements. - Custom Embroidery
A premium, textured finish for hats, polos, jackets, and more—made to last and always look sharp.
Everything we produce is made to order, helping reduce waste and support a more sustainable approach to apparel production. And with no minimum order requirements, you can order exactly what you need—whether it’s one shirt or a full run for your team or company.
At the heart of it all, we’re passionate about helping you create something you’re proud to wear and share.
From our family to yours, welcome to Things Above Custom Apparel.
We can’t wait to bring your ideas to life—one custom shirt, hoodie, hat, or embroidered piece at a time.
