About Plateau Custom Apparel
Crafted Locally.
Built With Purpose.
Plateau Custom Apparel is a family-owned apparel and merchandise studio in Glenville, North Carolina, serving the Highlands–Cashiers Plateau and surrounding communities. We create employee uniforms, branded apparel, and merchandise for businesses, schools, teams, and organizations, along with custom event and personal projects. We also offer our own original apparel designs and collections.
Our Story
We're a family-owned studio in Glenville, working out of a shop that sits on the same Plateau our customers live and work on. What started as a small embroidery operation has grown into a full apparel and merchandise studio — uniforms and workwear for local businesses, gear for schools, teams, and organizations, merch made to be sold, and the one-off personal projects that come through the door.
We started Plateau with a simple belief: custom apparel should be made with the same attention to detail as the brands, businesses, and organizations it represents.
Too often, custom apparel becomes a transactional experience. You upload a logo, choose a garment, and hope the finished product meets expectations. We believe the process should be different.
From embroidered hats and company uniforms to custom shirts, hoodies, and specialty projects, we work closely with every customer to create apparel that looks great, feels intentional, and represents their brand well.
More Than Decoration
Great apparel is more than putting a logo on a shirt.
The garment matters. The placement matters. The decoration method matters.
Plateau combines professional equipment, thoughtful production methods, and hands-on craftsmanship to deliver finished products our customers are proud to put their name on.

Meet the Makers
Blake & Celina McClure
Plateau Custom Apparel was founded by Blake and Celina McClure with a shared passion for creating things the right way. By combining craftsmanship, creativity, and thoughtful service, they help businesses, organizations, teams, and individuals bring their ideas to life.
Blake brings a background in technology, operations, and problem solving, with years spent designing systems, managing complex projects, and improving processes. That same attention to detail and commitment to doing things well now drives Plateau's production workflow and customer experience.
Long before Plateau, Celina was creating custom pieces through handcrafted signs, apparel projects, and creative work that brought people's ideas to life. Along with her passion for making things, Celina brings years of customer service experience through retail banking leadership and a deep understanding of what it means to listen, communicate, and serve people well. Her creativity and commitment to the customer experience help shape the personal approach behind every Plateau project.
Together, Blake and Celina built Plateau around a simple belief: custom apparel should be more than putting a logo on a garment. It should be a thoughtful process that results in something people are proud to wear.
Built as a family business, Plateau represents their commitment to creating a place where quality craftsmanship, personal service, and attention to detail come together in every project.
