Who are we ?

Customx is a black woman owned, operated and founded custom accessory shop dedicated to helping people celebrate, commemorate and show case themselves, or loved ones while expressing their individuality

Our Mission

Our mission is to spread happiness through quality custom accessories by creating beautiful memorabilia

The problem 

Have you ever brought a name necklace or a customized item online and thought about:

How long did it take to make?

Then how long did it take to ship?

Constantly refreshing the tracking page hoping for a better update than the last. Custom items usually take some time to make and then some time to ship out leaving you excited and impatient for days.

How do we solve it?

At Customx, we are changing customization by shortening the time frame it takes to create these items. We offer next day pickup and local delivery in the Philadelphia area to allow you to receive your items in a better time frame. Waiting 7+ days is overrated. We also ship outside of Philadelphia; items still take less than 7 days to arrive and are made within one day ready to ship. We provide a faster turnaround time with great quality at no risk to you or our business.

Why fund us ?

Customx is a small, owned business, we have very loyal customers who help introduce us to more people, our business cannot hold as much inventory due to limited funding and resources made available. We are looking for funding to allow us to get a head start to greater inventory counts and expand our services. At the moment we create custom iPhone cases, picture pendants and occasionally custom apple watch bands. We are also looking towards including an engraving service as well to add and allow us to grow our business and possibility make this into a full-time job for us. I am one of few Black women in the Philadelphia area in this market. We would like help to grow our business by getting a head start without creating debt for ourselves and also showing women and girls of other ways to become boss babes.

Funding will allow us:

Money received will go into more inventory ( currently we only hold four of each item at a time, by helping us through ifundwomen we will be able to acquire greater inventory counts without jeopardizing our financial standing  )

Brand new jewelry engraving+Cutting  machine, these machines typically start at 2,000 and increases on the action you need them to do

Search for larger storage/office space to allow us to work outside of our tiny living space

Supplies such as ink, iPhone cases, apple watch bands etc. 

Meet the owner : 

Hi, my name is Amirah and I am the owner of Customx, a small custom accessory shop located in the Philadelphia area. The idea behind customX derived from my first business theFword. An inclusive safe place for everyone. I create feminist accessories and people loved my work ethic and quality so much, they came back wanting personal items to be made as well. I enjoy bringing happiness into anything I do and soon hope to host trainings to teach others how to create custom accessories also. I am a huge fan of custom items, I enjoy being unique. Custom items gives you the space to practice individuality. So when ordering custom items for myself,  I'd constantly find myself refreshing the tracking page and becoming more and more impatient. With my first business in mind and my impatience growing at the same time, I put together another brand allowing people who are impatient like me to receive items in a better Time frame than traditional custom pieces take, this journey has been nothing but amazing for me. I started making just iPhone cases and realized there is a new found love for picture pendants. People every where, wear these to honor the deceased, showcase their loved ones or even themselves. Researching how I'd take iPhone cases and add picture pendants took work but it was not long until I was open making people smile and bringing joy to their lives with beautiful memorabilia.
