“One of my most complimented pieces of clothing!”

“Birthday Suit is the best combination of whimsy, quality craft, and sustainable design. A true trifecta. A piece of joy in my wardrobe!!”

The Process

Birthday Suit is produced by me in my workspace in Brooklyn. I strive to make everything with repurposed and found materials, but you will notice some made-to-order garments are made with new stock fabrics.

Products can be put into two categories: Ready to Ship (RTS) and Made to Order (MTO).

RTS items include one-of-a-kind upcycles of vintage goods as well as limited runs of soft home goods. They’re perfect to buy as a birthday gift or a personality piece to add to your wardrobe or home.

MTO is a slower, more intentional process. I’ll start by gathering your measurements and finalize any finishing touches with you, like patching or hemming. From there, production can take between 2–3 weeks. MTO garments are investment pieces that have become staples in my own closet.

If you’re interested in collaborating, please fill out the interest form. Or, look for inspiration in the treasure trove.

“Emily made custom bikini tees for my bachelorette trip and absolutely nailed the vision! She was so easy to work with, checking in with me at every step to make sure we were on the same page. I really appreciated the balance of applying her creative genius to my ideas. I love not feeling like I’m adding more Amazon garbage to my t-shirt collection. I am obsessed with how unique and sustainable these pieces are!”

“It feels like my birthday every time I wear my Birthday Suit with the amount of compliments I receive. It’s the perfect statement piece that’s comfortable to wear and works with so many different occasions.”
