Trippadoo Designs is a small but versatile shop offering handmade clothing, upcycles, vinyl and screen-printed tees, custom cups and graphic design services.

Customs are always open with pre-order and ready to ship drops happening monthly.
Owner, Sarah opened the virtual doors of her shop after friends and acquaintances continuously asked her where the handmade clothing she created for her son was from. She saw an opportunity and gladly began offering her talents to the waiting customers. Her goal is to provide an affordable and unique small shop clothing option for the boys who are so often left out and for girls!
This unique and edgy shop was named after the owner's son who was the inspiration behind Sarah's beginnings with handmade clothing. When asked what her main inspiration is Sarah said, "My kids are 100% always my inspiration. I want them to see that they can do anything!" What an amazing role model she is for them!
Sarah's favorite thing about being a small shop owner is the community that has developed around her shop. It is a supportive community with positive mama's who encourage and inspire her creativity. Of course, with a community who loves and encourages her creativity, Sarah's favorite pieces to provide are her customs. She loves when customers give her creative freedom to try new things and test the boundaries of her craft. Having a supportive foundation of reps and customers is key for a successful small shop. Sarah has this key factor all figure out and finds so much joy from her friends and family who also support her endeavors.
