KEDA

I love KEDAs! I always come here to get Greek letters done, and they have never gotten a single one of my orders done incorrectly. I personally rather go into their store and have them help me fill out the forms because they know how to mark it up so they don’t make mistakes. They’re very easy to get a hold of for updates about your order, and if they have issues with items on stock they do reach out to you before your order due date.

I recently placed my 2^nd order with KEDA for some custom work shirts for my fitness company. The process was simple and they did a great job. I had some previously used drifit shirts from an old company I had worked for just sitting in the closet for years. KEDA was able to remove the embroidery and restitch a new patch with my current logo.
The quality was great! They helped me tweak the design to fit the area needed to cover, and kept me in the loop along the way as it was getting produced. The turnaround took less than a week. I was very happy with my second experience. Angie was a huge help! She took the time to go over everything with me and gave me different options in regards to what I was trying to do. Highly recommend them to everybody for print and embroidery needs!

We order our work company shirts here. We have a moving company and are contracted out of a larger company that requires us contractors to provide our own shirts but with their logos on them. Our shirts came out amazing! Other people around the warehouse have been asking when we are placing our next order. we have been using them for a year now and they have not faded, stretched out, worn out, or peeled at all. Those have always been issues with the shirts that are ordered, so everyone is really interested in pitching in and having us get them some shirts too this time around! Completely satisfied with the product as well as the service. I RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO EVERYONE!!!

This place was pretty simple to work with. I came in needing to make a greek lettered jacket and the only hard part was figuring out the design and colors. The process is pretty streamlined, just make sure you do your research on what you want before coming in. The only reason why I took away a star was because I initially ordered a green letterman jacket from them and then switched to black. I was told that I got charged restock and return fee because it was a «special order.» I wasn’t informed about this and wished they told me all the details prior. Besides this issue, they’re pretty solid.

It’s near other plazas you can hit to go eat afterwards.
As for service, easy and they help out.
Allow outside fabrics and other clothes if they do not have it.
They do all types of embroidering and not just for greek which is nice.
Clothing such as jackets, shirts, pants, and shorts to duffle bags and grad sashes.

Ask for Erik! Not only is he helpful but he did an amazing job on shirts that I needed for a bachelorette party! All the girls were extremely excited when they saw how great the shirts turned out. He knew exactly what we needed and made sure that everything looked good. The quality was great and every little detail of the design was on point. I’ve seen screen printing jobs done by other companies and I’d have to say that KEDA by far does the best work. Love my shirts! I’d definitely go back for more!

I have worked with KEDA on several occasions, primarily for Greek apparel, and hands down they are the best. First of all, they are always willing to work with you. I have been there several times, with different orders and time lines, they have always worked to get it done. Their quality of work is far superior than other places and their ability to customize (basically anything) is amazing! For example, I recently purchased a jacket and wanted to include a symbol on the sleeve. Due to the intricacy of it, they did not have it. I took a picture of the object I wanted and they were able to make it. It was done perfectly and to my liking!
Their service is also great! The worker in the front is VERY patient, knowledgeable, and friendly. She dealt with me as I kept going back and forth on what color and type of font I wanted. I understand; it is hard to deal with us crazy Greeks going back and forth on what we want. I really appreciate her patience. With my order, she also warned me that it may not come out exactly, but I took the risk. Luckily it came out great, but even if it did not, I appreciated the warning. Lastly, she was super friendly. I always take cash because she gives me discount! (Broke college student favorite words!) I think communication with them is key. You have to make sure you are clear with what you want and when you want/​need them (it may not happen, but they are willing to work with you).
Overall, they are amazing! Fair pricing, good quality, and friendly staff! You cannot go bad!

Its been a while since I’ve been to Keda as I no longer need things screened and embroidered all the time, but I worked with them for almost 10 years and always loved them. I started going to them as a collegiate greek, getting gobs of stuff for big and lil sises and bros, u know the deal. The product was always great and on time. The price back then was competitive as well. Then after graduation, I started working for a restaurant chain and had all our uniforms and staff gear (hats, hoodies, shirts, aprons, even curtains!) made there, all again great. on time, high quality, fair price. the screens on the uniforms lasted nearly 2 years for most staff! on dark uniforms with nightly wear that’s pretty awesome. in any case, its disheartening to see the latest bad reviews so I thought I’d post my experience and as an SC grad, maybe they just don’t roll blue and gold there :) jk, i don’t know that, just thought that was kinda funny.

HORRIBLE. I was misled by the high rating!
I sent my partner to this shop with very clear instruction, dimensions, and pictures to show EXACTLY how the job should be done. He even explained to them in detail how to do it.
First of all, communication was horrendous! Nobody answered the phone, and when we went into the shop in person, the seamstress was never there!
Finally, after almost 2 week, we receive our samples, and it is horrible. They did not follow directions at all. Absolutely unacceptable. Completely unprofessional company. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM!

Let me just start this review off with the fact that this is nowhere near the best embroidery or screen printing place. Go to another place. The only reason they even get 1 star is because they prepare your order by the time they say they do.
Cons
1. The stitching and printing isn’t clean at all. They’ve made a mistake on every order I’ve placed here (about 6 separate occasions)
2. Completely overpriced for the horrible work they do. The only reason I still come here is because all the other places I used to go to near LA closed or have changed their services. If you expect to get any order completed in under a week, be prepared to pay an arm and a leg for it.
3. They change the time they go to lunch every single time. Not only do thy take an hour for lunch, but they just leave a crappy sticky note on the door. That is the farthest from professional I have ever seen. What if people only have 30 minutes to get everything done and they just «decide» to go to lunch?
4. Lazy workers. Almost every time I come in, I just hear the workers gossiping. I go during times when they don’t have many orders in and they still don’t take the time to make your order perfect. Stitching is sometimes frayed or not done well, and don’t even get me started on the screen printing they do.
Bottom line: Take your orders somewhere else. Joy’s embroidery in Riverside is a lot cheaper, have better customer service and are very meticulous about their work.

How does this place have 4.5 stars? Do they just not like APO at UCLA or something? I should’ve listened to Andrew M.‘s review! A brother never lets you down, but noo, I was all like «ANYWHERE BUT ROYGBIV» and very unfortunately picked KEDA.
This review is purely based off of quality. Customer service? Fantastic. We came in on a Friday morning and the woman that was working patiently waited 2 hours for us to finally decide on what we wanted and order. She did charge me an extra $ 48 because she did some math wrong, so do make sure you double check your order. I’m lucky that it took my friends an hour after me to make their order because I spent that time staring at my own order which is how I caught the mistake.
Here’s the breakdown of my order:
Silver American Apparel Cardigan — $ 47.50
Lace over Greek letters– $ 30
Right upper arm tags (2 lines) — $ 11
Left upper arm tags (2 lines) — $ 11
Butt tag (1 line) — $ 8
Right chest (1 line) — $ 5
TOTAL — $ 112.50 — 10% discount for paying full in cash = $ 101.25
It was $ 30 to add lace AND you had to bring in your own, which I wasn’t aware of (my fault). Luckily the woman working was nice enough to inform me that they had some leftover black lace from a previous order she was willing to let me use, BUT IT WAS $ 30… Holy crap.
We went in on 5÷17÷13 and set our pick-​up date to be exactly 2 weeks on 5÷31÷13. When we went in for pick up, they weren’t even done with our orders, which is what I don’t understand. Do all places do the orders on the day they’re requested for pick up? Doesn’t it make more sense to do them as soon as you can after they’re ordered??? What the hell.
ANYWAYS, the letters looked REEEEEALLY shitty. When I get a picture, I’ll post it, but in the mean time trust me, they looked disgusting. Imagine a 2 year old trying to color some letters in but scribbling outside the lines because that’s essentially what it looked like. My little’s letters was silver cardigan then metallic silver — white — lavender — lavender w/​black lace, so the white was leaking out of the metallic silver onto the jacket. It wasn’t that noticeable so I didn’t make a big deal, but it was horrific for my friends who had maroon — white — black or something and forest green — black — gold. HOWEVER, my black lace DID leak over on the white background. It looked so ugly like random specks of black lint lining the letters on the inside. When we asked KEDA to fix it, she brought it in for the people to redo but it was still noticeable and there. When I asked her about the black lace on the white, she suggested that I take small scissors and cut it, just make sure not to cut any of the stitches. First, duh. Second, I shouldn’t have to try and trim any excess in the first place.
Primarily, I didn’t want to go to ROYGBIV because my own letters was from there and one of the letters had started to unravel but then I cut it and it’s not even noticeable. I’d VERY VERY much rather have that from ROYGBIV and pay $ 80 or less than what KEDA gave me for $ 101.
It seems like mostly everyone else has had great and dandy, high-​quality results from KEDA and that my friends & I are just three of few who have had the opposite, but I just wanted to give y’all a warning. Cross your fingers and hope that you’re not one of the unlucky ones who end up with a low-​quality, crappy order!

AKPsi at UCLA has always gotten our letters made here. They are definitely known for having the best quality letters anywhere around (I mean, we drive to Torrance from LA!)
If you are pledging Greek, you should know that Greek stuff in general are pricey. Especially letters. An average one comes out to $ 80, easily (hoodie with embroidery on front of frat/​sorority you’re pledging, name on left sleeve, class on right sleeve, and family name on hoodie front)
The shop itself is hidden away in a commercial lot– props for them for not spending more on fancy marketing and storefront costs, I guess, and not passing the costs to us. The staff here is really helpful: they will spend 30 minutes with you, patiently showing you off the swatches of all the colors and stitching.
The showroom is self-​explanatory itself: there is a window where you can talk to someone and actually place your order. The walls are decked out with ‘examples’ of other letters that people have made. There is a rack of sweaters so you can pull one out and check out the sizes for yourself. At the window, there is a box of letter samples (basically what the embroidery would actually look like, with the 3 different levels of fabric and stitching available). You can also ask them for a ‘book’ of stitching colors.
Don’t worry if you know nothing about letters: the lady there was really patient in explaining what the different stitchings are. While you tell her colloquially what you want, she just fills our the order form for you. You sign at the bottom in the end to clarify that what you’ve ordered is right! (So they won’t be liable for having stitched the wrong name, or whatever).
Plan ahead! Letters take something like 2 weeks to make, just to be safe! We were lucky and were able to place one for 10 days later, I think (but we were 1 day away from having to pay rush fees)

Really cheap place to get your letters done. It is a little out of the way from where I live or go to school to, but Keiko is so nice and very helpful.
I ordered my 5 sets of letter and they’re all done in less than 2 weeks, even though it was right before the holiday n they’re hella busy with orders. That really shows how awesome they are!
Quality is good but there are a bit of minor things that can be perfected here and there. However they all still come out really good, so no complaints.

Amazing. The product at Keda is unsurpassed. I continue to buy embroidered items, and especially letters from Keda even to this day. Five years after graduating and not needing any more Chi Alpha Delta letters, my sister in law rushes for my sorority– and crosses! So I find myself again at keda’s door. The staff is friendly, Keiko rocks, and the letters are high quality. I’ve received letters from other places, but they always seem a bit shoddy, or just not as cute. Keda can do anything– print letters, solid letters, big words, small words, and can embroider anywhere. They have a wide variety of things to embroider on as well.
All in all, you get what you pay for. Do it, your lils will thank you!

fyi: reviewing purely for Greek letters.
Here’s my deal: if you want a quality set of letters, you’re just going to have to pay a little extra.
Keda is NOT your cheapest option, but I’ve never had a problem with the letters I’ve gotten here. Been a loyal customer since my first little and if I ever have to get another set of letters (I highly doubt this), I’ll be sure to come back.
I was lucky enough to get a super friendly lady helping me out (sometimes they can get rude) and I was able to make my order quick. They cost extra for metallic threading and each line is more money for tagging the sweatshirt (bottom, arms, chest, whatever) so if you’re into tagging, just be ready to spend a lot. (I usually get the basic letters done here and the tagging somewhere else).
I like that they’re reliable and the letters look legit and NICELY done. Haven’t had a set that I’ve been disappointed with.
FYI, you can order through email too! But the danger is that you can’t see the colors so I suggest you go in and pick the colors you want. They’re also strict on time, so be sure to get there during their business hours or they WON’T be open … even if you’re a few minutes late :(

I needed to get a number printed on a basketball jersey for a league and decided to go to KEDA. Lisa W. called ahead of time for me and they were happy to print the number on my jersey on the spot for $ 12 ($ 10+$ 2 for the rush fee).
I got there and there was a bit of a delay since they were busy but they had it completed in about 35 minutes.
They apologized for the wait which wasn’t a problem especially since the quality of the numbers printed on the jersey were excellent. Definitely not going to be coming off after a number of washes.
I know other places are cheaper to have this type of work done but the quality makes up for it.

They’ve customized my shirt. Just PERFECT. I’ve had my own idea how I wanted my name on the shirt, but they were creative and suggested some different styles etc, and 3 days later I picked up the most amazing shirt.
Perfect quality. Well executed. It doesnt get any better (can you tell Im still excited ?) Did I forgot to mention that they do embroidery as well. You should seen their lobby! Filled with Frats all day long.
If you ever need something printed on anything, KEDA is the place to go.
On top of that: Value for money is almost better than the finished product itself.

We used to come here all the time to do our sweaters for the frat, but I don’t know what it is about them, but they just can’t seem to learn QUALITY CONTROL. Every order we’ve ever placed with them has had major issues with a good portion of our sweaters, and while the fixing is done fairly quickly, the issues shouldn’t even be there in the first place.
Some of the errors are just plain irresponsible! Some of the letters weren’t even sewn on fully! That’s just not good business.
I’m sticking with Roy-​G-​Biv in Alhambra from now on. It’s closer, it’s cheaper, and it promises me better quality.

I’ve been coming to Keda to get things done for years!
I’ve had sorority/​fraternity sweaters, jackets, bags, t-​shirts… everything you can imagine — all done by Keda. After I graduated back in ’06 I placed orders with them for screen printing t-​shirts for different marketing events that were going on for the various companies I worked for. They have ALWAYS delivered on-​time and w/​the best quality around.
Now, I will admit that I have ordered from other vendors that were a little bit cheaper, but will NEVER do that again. The quality of work done by other vendors cannot compare to Keda. One hoodie that I had done was $ 7 cheaper than at Keda, but when I received my order — BOOOO! Even though I ordered double-​stitching (satin stitch) I could still see the fabric behind it! Then, after 4 – 5 washes, the thread starting coming loose! Basically… $ 30 down the drain. The hoodies that I got from Keda (now 7 – 8 years old) are still in great condition — the stitching lasts forever!
I have since moved up to Northern California and still place all my orders with them — and I am one picky _​_​_​_​_​.

I am part of a co-​ed service organization called Alpha Phi Omega. I am not around the torrance area but I do go there often to get letters done. I believe they do very great work when it comes to letters.
I have been to a few other places that are closer to home and about $ 10 or so cheaper, but you cant compare the $ 10 saved for quality. I spend a good amount of money there since my involvement since Fall 2008.
I just recently re-​created my custom Gucci print sweater at keda because the initial place that did my first set of Gucci letters didnt do a good job. They will work with you on whatever style you wish to have, no matter how basic or how fancy you want your sweater. If they have the material they will show you the combination possibilities. They also have very nice customer service and they always want the customer to be happy
