Hi, I’m Kim!

Welcome! I’m the proud “solopreneur” behind The Crabby Needle. This business was born from blending my love for fashion, sentimental creations, and ethical shopping into a means to support my family.

I began the business by transforming pre-loved items into unique, one-of-a-kind pieces for a “second chance at life.” Since opening, I have discovered a deeper passion in collaboration and personal connection. Therefore, I’ve adapted my offerings to be customizable dependent on each person’s need.

Whether you’re looking to express your creativity, share a laugh, celebrate a special memory, or keep a loved one close to your heart, I’m here to make your vision a reality!

So, make yourself at home! Dream, shop, learn, or book a meeting to chat about your next big idea—I can’t wait to create something amazing with you.

“Kim is the best and super responsive. The quality is amazing and will definitely be ordering more items in the future!!”

“I love my sweatshirt! I had a request to have the sleeve writing in cursive, and the seller was so kind about it.

I LOVE how the sweatshirts are second hand. 100% recommend!”
