“It's really just something I love doing so [I love] people pushing me to do
new and exciting things!” -Kirby Coxie, Owner
Crafts by Kirbs offers a variety of vinyl products with bleached or splattered options. Owner, Kirby Coxie, opened the shop after some friendly encouragement. She originally purchased her vinyl machine to make monogram pieces for her daughter who was on the way. Since she enjoyed it so much, and of course there is a demand for the items she creates, a friend pushed her to share her crafts with the world by opening a shop.
Located in South Carolina, Crafts by Kirbs has been offering hand designed and altered pieces for over a year with weekly drops on Tuesdays and a monthly Friday drop on the third Friday of the month. Kirby likes being pushed to make new and exciting things by her reps and customers. Her favorite style to make are the bleach tees she offers. These have vinyl designs and are also bleached for a more customized, unique look. Everything Kirby makes is inspired by her kids since they are the real motivation behind everything she does.
As a mom, Kirby loves designing items that her kids love but she also loves that being a small shop owner means making her own hours so she can be a part of her kid's lives as much as possible. Her true joy comes from her kids and husband, collectables, photography and repping. Her small shop gives her the freedom to do more of the things she enjoys most.
With all of the different shop options out there, it's always best to choose custom and unique items. So, check out Crafts by Kirbs next Tuesday and snag some awesome bleached tees!
