About us - Sand Creek custom wear
Your local custom apparel shop
Sand Creek Custom Wear started in 2010 with Jackie and Peter Gillis’ purchase of Earle’s Embroidery & Design. In 2014, the Gillises also purchased Meyers Sport Tees and moved the business to downtown Sandpoint, where it ultimately became known as Sand Creek Custom Wear. At the end of 2017, they purchased screen printing equipment to expand their services for locally decorated apparel!
In the summer of 2021, the Gillises retired. They sold the business to Elli and Aaron Vahrenwald. Elli, an Idaho native, and Aaron, a transplant, are excited to continue the legacy that Sand Creek Custom Wear has become in our North Idaho community. We are committed to the service and quality you have come to expect.
Please, come in to say hi. We look forward to working together!
