Bookish Sweatshirts Made to Order | Liam & Lore
Liam & Lore is a family-run shop in San Diego, California that hand-designs bookish sweatshirts and makes each one to order. Designs cover ACOTAR, Shatter Me, Hawthorne House, Jane Austen and more. Our sweatshirts are printed, not embroidered. If you have an embroidery idea in mind, email us at liamandlore@gmail.com about a custom order.
What makes a good bookish sweatshirt?
A good bookish sweatshirt should work in two ways. Other readers should recognize the reference, and you should still want to wear it on an ordinary day. Look for designs that nod to a book's world, such as a shop, a house or a city, rather than a full cover print. Look for a crewneck cut that suits layering, and a color range wide enough to match the book's mood.
We design every sweatshirt by hand around those ideas. The Suriel Tea Co Sweatshirt and the City of Starlight Sweatshirt draw on A Court of Thorns and Roses. The Hawthorne House Sweatshirt nods to Kristi Ann Hunter's Hawthorne House Regency romance series. The Aaron Warner Sweatshirt is for Shatter Me fans. Each one is made to order, so it is printed for you rather than pulled from a warehouse of mass-produced stock.
Where can I buy embroidered bookish sweatshirts?
Our sweatshirts are printed to order, not embroidered. If you came here looking for stitched designs, we would rather say that plainly than leave you guessing.
We do take custom orders. If you have a specific idea, such as a quote, a character name or a book club logo, email it to liamandlore@gmail.com. We will tell you what we can make.
Which books and fandoms do your sweatshirts cover?
Our collections follow the books our customers love. They include:
- Sarah J. Maas: A Court of Thorns and Roses, Throne of Glass and Crescent City.
- Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi.
- Fourth Wing.
- The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han.
- Jane Austen and classic literature.
- Colleen Hoover, Emily Henry, Caroline Peckham and Delia Owens.
We also make general reading and book-club designs. Our designs are fan-made, and we are not affiliated with any author or publisher.
How do Liam & Lore sweatshirts fit?
All of our styles use unisex sizing that runs true to size. Sweatshirts have a loose fit, which suits layering over a tee or curling up with a long series. Each product's photos include a size chart with measurements.
Sweatshirt colors include Ash, Dark Heather, Light Blue, Light Pink, Maroon, Navy, Sand, Sport Grey, White, Black and Forest Green, with more on many designs.
How long does a made-to-order sweatshirt take?
Every Liam & Lore item is made to order. Each order takes 2 to 5 business days to make before it ships. Orders ship by USPS First-Class Mail unless you choose an upgraded shipping option at checkout. If you are buying a gift, order early enough to allow for the making time.
How much does a bookish sweatshirt cost?
