About Bibliophagy & Esoterica

Hey, Krysta here! I'm owner, operator, sole proprietor, designer, etc. of Bibliophagy & Esoterica —and yes, this IS a one-woman operation!— powered by caffeine, curiosity, and a deep love for all things vintage and/or peculiar.

I’ve been obsessed with designing “alternative” clothing since middle school, but when fashion school required perfection-level sewing (on both sides of the seam, no less), I panicked and bailed—fast. I swapped out fashion for English, ditched the dream, and filed it away in the “maybe someday AKA forgotten dreams” drawer.

Fast forward 23 years and I finally decided to do the thing. This apparel shop is me dusting off an old dream and daring to chase it, imperfectly and unapologetically. Like my handmade junk journals and curated craft supplies over on Etsy, everything I create is about giving forgotten things—and forgotten dreams—a second shot at life.

Thanks for being part of the story.

🖤 Krysta
