Peach Berserk Cocktails

Peach Berserk does fashion the way big retail-clothing companies can’t.
Kingi Carpenter, owner and designer of Peach Berserk, creates hand-printed, one-of-a-kind clothing that can be customized to fit your creative style and size. “You pick the print you want, the colour of fabric and the style, and I’ll make you a dress, a hoodie, a skirt or whatever you’d like to your specifications,” says Kingi.

Her clothing is constructed at various studios in downtown Toronto with help from local sewers. Peach Berserk’s showroom on Shaw Street is as colourful and unique as the 200 original fabric prints available for design. Using a silkcreen process, Kingi is able to transpose different images onto garments — the options are endless. “You can say, ‘I don’t want one of your prints, I want a print of this,’ and it can be a rock star you like, your own poetry or your friend’s drawings or whatever you want,” she says.

One wedding dress order required Kingi to design a dress that had pictures of the couple and all their favourite things to do in drawings and writings. Another order for an artist having an exhibit had Kingi reinterpreting her customer’s paintings into a dress design. “Every job is different and I love figuring out the best way to do it,” she says.
