Whether you're on the lookout for quirky iron-on patches, matchy jackets, or full-on floral evening gowns, embroidery takes a whole level of craftsmanship that just can't be rivaled. Below, our three go-tos for when you're in a stitch sitch.
RHETT EALA

A local celebrity favorite, and with good reason! No one does detail quite like Rhett, whose Spring-Summer 2017 collection In My Secret Garden overflowed with embroiderey so well-executed that we had to squint hard to make sure they weren't just prints. Follow him on Instagram @rhetteala.
ESME PALAGANAS

The young mastermind behind Basic Movement actually created the silk bomber jackets worn by JaDine on the cover of Team Real! Fun fact: The intricate embroidery was supposed to take three weeks to complete, but Esme managed to get the job done in just a matter of days. Applause! Contact her via Instagram @basicmovement.
CHEETAH RIVERA

We remember how enthralled we were by the designer's Fall 2015 collection, where exquisitely hand-embroidered swallows perched gracefully on streamlined silhouettes. Cheetah's work is vibrant, feminine, and very, very clean. See for yourself and check her IG @imcheetahrivera!
