Our Story

Handmade with love in Metro Detroit

Hi there! I'm Caitlin, the maker behind To Dye For and More. I'm from Metro Detroit, and creating is my happy place. Nothing makes me happier than taking a spark of inspiration and turning it into something you can wear, hold, and show off.

Whether you're treating yourself or hunting for the perfect gift for someone special, I'll work with you to bring your idea to life, from the very first sketch to the final stitch (or brushstroke!).

I do all things shoes, embroidery, hand painting, and more. And if you don't see what you're looking for? Just ask! Some of my favorite projects started with "Can you make…?"

What We're About

Our mission: bring your ideas to life

Fun, handmade pieces that celebrate the people, pets, teams, and moments you love, made one order at a time with a whole lot of heart.

Fun first

Bright colors, bold ideas, and a whole lot of personality. If it makes you grin, we're in.

Made by hand

Every piece is designed and made with care. No two custom orders are ever exactly alike.

Community-focused

Proudly rooted in Metro Detroit. We love outfitting local teams, schools, and small businesses, and cheering them on from the stands.

One-on-one service

You work directly with me, and you approve every mockup and price before anything is made. No surprises.
