A Great Experience at Crazy Kat Design Company (CKO)…read more
While my wife and I were shopping at the Daytona Flea Market, we had the pleasure of meeting Robert, the owner of Crazy Kat Design Company, also known as CKO or Crazy Kat Outfitters LLC. He noticed my vest adorned with Rock-n-Roll patches, which sparked a conversation between us about our shared love for music. It was refreshing to connect over a common interest right there in the flea market!
Robert told me that he collaborates with the owners of Byrd's Leather on special projects, including creating custom patches. Crazy Kat Design Company offers a wide range of custom, permanent iron-on and industrial-grade Velcro patches. Whether you're looking for a unique design, material, shape, or size, Robert can bring your vision to life using his state-of-the-art laser engraving technology. The possibilities for personalization are endless!
But Robert's offerings don't stop at patches. He also sells high-quality products like pocket knives, drink tumblers, T-shirts, hats, bags, slate picture frames, award placards, window stickers, business cards, fridge magnets, license plate brackets, bottle openers, pants, and cutting boards. Each of these items can be customized with your choice of design, either through printing or laser engraving.
While we were chatting, Robert showed me some of his custom work, including patches made for the Troopers Bridge Foundation and Blairstown Fire Department. He also displayed some cool custom engravings for small businesses, such as laptop bags, hats, and specialty Yeti tumblers. It was clear that he takes pride in his craftsmanship.
Pricing is reasonable for the level of customization. For example, ball caps range from $15 to $35, with the laser-engraved hats being on the higher end. A 30oz laser-engraved tumbler is priced at $40, while a customized XL tee with logos on the back and front costs $25. A 5.5" x 7.5" custom slate picture costs $30, and a custom sublimation acrylic award placard is priced at around $25. Overall, the prices are quite affordable for custom-made products. And, I have a feeling Robert may be willing to offer discounts for larger orders--it's worth reaching out to him directly.
The shop itself is relatively small, and Robert typically operates on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. If you're planning a visit, I recommend using the QR code I've included in the photos to connect with Robert directly. The QR code will take you to his website, where you can easily save his contact information or get in touch for any custom orders.
If you're ever at the Daytona Flea Market, I highly recommend stopping by Crazy Kat Design Company. Whether you're looking for custom patches, personalized gifts, or just a great conversation about music and craftsmanship, Robert and his shop won't disappoint.
