In the quaint town of Downers Grove, IL, a burst of colors and a wave of creativity are redefining the art of tie-dye. Welcome to the vibrant world of PigMint, where each piece of clothing and home accessory isn’t just an item but a canvas of color, brought to life by Rachel Sevcik, the heart and soul behind this flourishing brand.
From Graphic Design to Dye Design: The Birth of PigMint
Rachel’s journey with PigMint began not out of a calculated business plan but from a passion for arts and a knack for creativity. With over two decades of experience as a graphic designer, Rachel’s artistic prowess found a new avenue in ice-dyeing – a technique she embraced and mastered with her unique flair.
It all started in January 2020, with an experiment in hand-dyeing baby rompers. Little did Rachel know, this small step would bloom into a full-fledged business. When the pandemic hit, and the demand for masks surged, Rachel’s hand-dyed bandanas took PigMint to newfound heights, turning it into an overnight sensation.
More Than Just Dye – A Community Connection

What sets PigMint apart is not just its eye-catching designs but its heartwarming connection to the community. With each bandana sold, Rachel ensured that her success was shared – contributing meals to hospital workers and supporting local food pantries. Her commitment extends to supporting LGBTQ organizations and the National Association for Down Syndrome.
The PigMint Ethos: Uniqueness in Every Thread
At PigMint, every item is a testament to Rachel’s belief in individuality and craftsmanship. The ice-dyeing process, spanning 24 hours, ensures that no two items are the same, each a masterpiece of colors and patterns. From cozy baby blankets to trendy jogger sets, Rachel’s creations cater to all – babies, adults, and every home.
