Testimonials

  • Fits My Personality

    I love my Kspek hooded sweatshirt! It's super comfortable and I love that it's a unique one-of-a-kind design. It fits my personality and I'm not wearing the same sweatshirt as everyone else. I love taking it with me when I travel and getting to share how it's made from repurposed vintage towels. It's the perfect comfy sweatshirt that I reach for over and over again.

  • Perfect Pool Bag

    I just got back from Vegas for a couple of days and it was the perfect poolside bag for my phone, sunscreen and a room key. I leave the scrunchie attached and carry it like a wristlet! Can't wait to gift one to my girlfriend for her birthday!!

  • Creative and Fun

    I received my first Kspek sweatshirt as a gift and instantly fell in love with it. Kathleen has a true talent for blending vintage towels into modern clothing. I have had the opportunity to collaborate with her to design multiple custom sweatshirts, and the experience was both creative and so fun. My Kspek beach bag has become an essential for every beach or pool outing. Even the terry cloth scrunchie is a thoughtful touch, perfect for drying my hair.

  • New Obsession!

    "Absolutely love this one-of-a-kind sweatshirt. I first saw these sweatshirts 10 months ago and could. not. stop. thinking. about. them. From the care and attention during the selection process to the packaging. This sweatshirt is my new favorite clothing item."

  • Feels Luxurious

    "I love my Kspek sweatshirt! The sweatshirt blends the plush softness of a favorite hoodie with a towel-like texture that feels luxuriously rich- almost like something Chanel would dream up in terry. The vibrant colors pop whether you're wearing it or it's folded neatly in your closet, making it as stylish as it is cozy."

  • Flooded With Compliments

    "There is no way I could choose a single favorite element of Kspek fashion. I love that it’s repurposed materials, high quality, one of a kind, and beyond fun. But my favorite part is that I am guaranteed a compliment every time I grab it out of my closet.

    These sweatshirts should come with a warning and it should read ‘YOU WILL BE STOPPED BY STRANGERS AND YOU WILL BE FLOODED WITH COMPLIMENTS’. I am always asked about my Kspeck and always complimented when I wear it. It just makes life brighter and friendlier

    I have been a customer of Kspek for years. Not only has the sweatshirts held up perfectly the compliments are just as steady and strong. Hands down still one of my favorite things in my closet ."

  • I Love My Sweatshirt!

    "Just wanted to let you know that I love my sweatshirt! Brings me joy each time I wear it. I've worn it everyday this week and continue to get compliments and asked where I got it from. So I've shared your info to so many! I've seen other wearing around town, and it's definitely a conversation starter. Not only are you a designer, but a connector of new friends. Great work and I'm so happy for your success."
