Wear Your Heart (Front and Center!) 💖
The season of love is just around the corner, and at Twist & Thread Co., we believe in wearing your heart on your sleeve—or, in this case, right where everyone can see it!
We are so excited to officially pull back the curtain on our latest addition: The "Heart on Your Sleeve" (But Centered) Design.
Whether you’re planning a cozy Galentine’s brunch, a romantic date night, or you just want to embrace the festive spirit of February, this collection was designed for you. It’s for the romantics, the dreamers, and anyone who isn't afraid to show the world how much love they have to give.
The Design: Artisanal Charm Meets Trendy Texture
What makes this piece truly special is the Double Heart Raw-Edge Applique. We wanted to move away from the basic "printed" look and offer something with soul.
Each piece features a charming, multi-layered heart design with a distressed, raw-edge finish. This gives the garment a handmade, artisanal feel that looks even better in person. The vibrant reds and sweet patterned centers are secured with an expert decorative stitch—meaning you get that stylish "shabby-chic" look without having to worry about the design fraying or falling apart.
Choose Your Cozy Level
We know that everyone has a different "go-to" for comfort. To make sure you find your perfect fit, we’ve made this design available in three of our most-loved styles:
-
The Long Sleeve Tee: Lightweight, breathable, and the perfect base for layering under a jacket.
-
The Classic Crewneck: The ultimate cozy staple for those chilly February mornings.
-
The Premium Hoodie: For maximum warmth and a relaxed, sporty vibe.
