What’s better than a cozy hoodie? One they’ve designed themselves! Through the Supermix studio, kids can create one-of-a-kind essentials that–dare we say–won’t end up in the lost and found.

Set them up with a computer or iPad and let them go to town choosing and placing patches like giant smiley faces, stars, rainbows, letters, and more before submitting their design for Supermix to bring it to life. (There’s over 500 patches to choose from!) The process is completely fool-proof and incredibly fun, but the pride they’ll have when it arrives? That’s the good stuff.
