Erica's Sparkly Designs FAQs
What do we do?
We specialize in blinging high school letterman jackets. All our jackets are embellished with genuine Swarovski® crystals.
Where are you located?
We are located in the San Fernando Valley / Los Angeles, CA area.
How much does it cost to bling out a Letterman jacket?
Embellishing letterman jackets can range from $100–$5,000. Cost depends on how many patches you would like embellished and whether you want single, double, triple, or full bling.
How do I get a price quote for my jacket?
Email us at [email protected] with pictures of your letterman jacket from every angle, capturing all patches clearly. Please also provide: 1) parent first & last name, 2) phone number, 3) email, 4) student first & last name, 5) school, 6) team/activities (JV or Varsity), 7) grad year, 8) school colors, 9) state. If you already know which patches you’d like embellished, let us know in that first email so we can send an invoice. *We book orders in advance with a 25% deposit to reserve your spot.
How long does it take to bling a jacket?
It takes about 2–4 weeks to embellish and dry your letterman jacket.
What brand of crystals do you use?
We use genuine Swarovski® crystals.
How are the crystals placed?
Each Swarovski® crystal is individually hand placed on the patch or embroidery with glue.
Where can I get a letterman jacket from?
Most schools require a specific jacket from certain vendors, so always check with your school/coach first. We’ve officially collaborated with REV Varsity Letterman Jackets and can create a custom jacket for you — a variety of colors, patches, embroidery, and fonts, with in-person or nationwide Zoom appointments. Call (818) 336-6000 to schedule.
How do you clean your letterman jacket?
Your letterman jacket must be dry cleaned first before shipping it to us. After your jacket has been embellished, we always suggest to spot clean it.
Do the crystals fall off?
It is very rare for the crystals to fall off — we set them securely. If crystals ever do fall off, we can send you replacement crystals and glue to add them yourself. If you’re ever unsure, always consult with our team first so we can better assist you.
What if I add new patches in the future?
Same process as before: drop off or ship your jacket to us with the new patches already sewn on. Do not dry clean your jacket if we’ve already embellished previous patches — most dry cleaners won’t clean letterman jackets with crystals on them, as they might get damaged.
Do you bling other items?
No — just high school letterman jackets for now. We’re open to other team wear such as uniforms, jerseys, cheer signs, and megaphones if time allows, but we no longer bling dance costumes, gowns, shoes, or tumblers. Email [email protected] with any questions.
Do you ship internationally?
Not yet — but we’re open to it!
How long have you been blinging?
Over 15 years. I’ve been an artist and crafter all my life — blinging tumblers, wedding veils, jerseys, shoes, audition outfits for pro NFL/NBA cheerleaders, hundreds of dance costumes, and many other things.
Should I wait until my child is a senior to bling their jacket?
No! Although bling is an investment, it’s best to send the jacket in once more than half the patches are sewn on. That way your child gets to enjoy their sparkly letterman jacket through the whole school year and season.
Why should I add bling to my letterman jacket?
Letterman jackets are beautiful on their own — embellished in Swarovski® crystals they become a statement piece. Watching your child receive a blinged jacket is like Christmas morning, and it’s often one of their last big gifts before the next chapter into adulthood.
When is payment due?
Payment is due once your jacket is fully completed, has passed our final quality inspection, and is ready to be boxed for shipment. We’ll notify you when it’s finished with payment instructions, and your order ships after full payment is received.
