We Make Things That Mean Something

Patch&Bagel makes custom patches in Singapore. Jessica started it in 2017, while she was still a student. She copied a patch from a TV show, put it on Etsy, and it took off.

How It Started

Jessica was studying at a polytechnic in Singapore. She wanted a bit of extra pocket money, so she started selling things online.

First it was custom t-shirts. Then she designed shirts for her school's business department. They sold out.

That taught her something she never forgot: people want to wear things that show who they are.

The Patch That Changed Everything

Jessica was watching Riverdale on Netflix. The show has a biker gang called the Southside Serpents. They wear leather jackets with a snake patch on the back. Fans loved it.

Jessica thought, "I could make that." So she did. She designed her own version and listed it on Etsy.

Orders came in fast. From America. From the UK. From all over Europe. People wanted to wear something from a story they loved.

She had not planned any of it. But it worked.

Then People Started Asking

Back in Singapore, word spread. Friends told friends. Soon Jessica was getting all kinds of requests:

  • Friends who took a trip together and wanted something to keep
  • Students finishing school or camp who wanted a keepsake
  • Couples who wanted to turn an inside joke into something real
  • Companies who wanted patches for team events and product launches
  • Military and uniformed groups who needed unit badges and name tags

Every request was different. But people wanted the same thing. Something real. Something that lasts. Something that means something.

That is how Patch&Bagel began.

Why the Name?

People ask about this a lot.

Patch is what we make.

Bagel is because Jessica likes bagels.

That is the whole story. There is no hidden meaning. People remember it, and that is enough.

What We Make Today

Patch&Bagel makes four kinds of custom patches:

  • Embroidered patches — stitched with thread. Classic and tough. Iron-on, sew-on, or velcro backing. From 20 pieces.
  • Woven patches — flatter than embroidery, with much finer detail. Best for small text and name tags. From 20 pieces.
  • PVC rubber patches — waterproof and built for the outdoors. Flat or raised, with velcro backing. From 30 pieces.
  • Silk screen and embroidery patches — for photos, faces, and shading that thread alone cannot do. From 20 pieces.

We also make custom enamel pins, enamel and acrylic fridge magnets, keychains, PVC luggage tags and logo gel pens.

Every order comes with a free design proof. Nothing is made until you say yes, and changes are free. We ship free worldwide from Singapore. And a real person answers your messages.
