Longtimegone

LongTimeGone creates beautiful, custom embroidery using vintage chainstitch machines and techniques. Beginning with hand-embroidered Western wear in 2017, owner, designer and stitcher Kellye Coffyn brought the styles of her native Texas to the UK, inspired by the country music culture she grew up with, the embroidered suits worn by performers like Dolly Parton and Hank Williams and the beautiful natural surroundings of her adopted home of Yorkshire. Before LTG, Kellye spent nearly 20 years in academia, primarily as a research physicist. Having had a love for textile arts and making clothing since childhood, and a fascination with tinkering with machines, she now combines the Southwestern and country music aesthetics of her youth with her analytical training and precise attention to detail to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind wearable works of art. With LongTimeGone, sustainability is a main priority, and deadstock materials and vintage garments help ensure your one-of-a-kind garment is also kind to the earth.
