I SAW A GHOST
somewhere in October

Maybe it was the crisp air.
Maybe it was the shadows.
Maybe it was actually a ghost.

Either way, we had to make a hoodie about it.

Somewhere in October is our take on Halloween—soft, nostalgic, a little mysterious, and never too loud. The front keeps things simple with embroidered lettering and a tiny ghost making an appearance, while the back tells the whole story with an intricate lace ghost surrounded by autumn florals, pumpkins, and just the right amount of spooky.

Made for October nights, pumpkin runs, chilly walks, haunted houses, coffee dates, and all the little moments that make fall feel like fall.

A little spooky. A little pretty. Very October.

A Little Something Special:

The lace ghost is created using hand-cut appliqué, making every hoodie uniquely its own.

Each piece of lace is carefully cut and placed by hand, then embroidered into the design. Because of this handmade process, no two ghosts will be exactly alike—subtle differences may appear in the lace pattern, shape, or placement.

Those little variations are part of the beauty. Made by hand. Never the same. Always uniquely yours.

Details:

Designed for those wanting a relaxed silhouette, with a black vintage finish for a naturally worn-in feel.
Constructed from a premium cotton/poly blend for everyday comfort and structure.
Hoodie option: Finished with a double-lined hood, side-seamed construction, front pouch pocket, and no drawstrings for a modern streetwear fit.
Embroidered with care in Minnesota.
- Made in small batches with intention.
- Designed to be worn often.
