Who We Are

A Color Above is a female-owned custom apparel studio in Encino, CA, offering screen printing, embroidery, and DTF transfers for everything from spirit wear to staff uniforms. Founded in June 2024 by owners with over 20 years in merchandising, we combine tight production control with practical branding insight to serve schools, teams, local businesses, and creative clients who need reliable, great-looking gear.

Why We Brought Production In-House

Years on the buying side taught us exactly how missed deadlines and inconsistent prints affect real people, including parents, staff, and organizers. We created A Color Above so every step, artwork through final inspection, stays in our studio. That control keeps quality consistent, timelines predictable, and budgets clear for every order.

How We Support You

Every project starts with a simple conversation about who will wear the apparel, how often, and when you need it in hand. We guide you between screen printing, DTF, and embroidery, offer eco-friendly options, and welcome any order size, so you receive uniforms and branded gear that fit your timeline, audience, and goals.
