Our Story

THE BEGINNING

Hey, I’m Nikki, the founder of Loved and Threaded™. I’ve been a nurse for 10 years, and I wanted to create clothes and gifts that have meaning and inspire others.

Working in nursing has taught me how much the little things matter. A kind word, a reminder that someone is thinking of you, or simply feeling understood can completely change someone’s day. Over time, I realized I wanted to carry that same feeling beyond my work in healthcare and into something people could keep, wear, and share.

THE IDEA

That’s how Loved and Threaded began.

I wanted to create more than another graphic tee or gift. I wanted to make pieces that feel personal—faith that encourages you, hometown designs that remind you where you come from, and funny little truths that make you stop and think, “Wait… me too.”

Because sometimes the best gift isn’t the biggest or most expensive one. It’s the one that makes someone feel seen, remembered, encouraged, or understood.

THE HEART BEHIND LOVED & THREADED

Every collection starts with one simple question:

What can we create that actually means something to the person receiving it?

Whether it’s a sweatshirt that reminds someone God is with them, a Detroit design that feels like home, or a personalized gift made just for Mom, my hope is that Loved & Threaded creates those small moments of connection.

Something meaningful. Something relatable. Something worth giving and keeping.
