About Black Cat’s Rigsby

Welcome to Black Cat’s Rigsby, where creativity meets craftsmanship.
We’re a Louisiana-based small business specializing in handcrafted tumblers, custom t-shirts, ornaments, coasters, and one-of-a-kind gifts — each made with care, passion, and a little sparkle of personality.


Our Story

Founded by Laura Rigsby, Black Cat’s Rigsby began as a creative outlet that quickly grew into a full-fledged craft brand.
What started with a few alcohol-ink tumblers made at home evolved into a business built on artistry, quality, and the joy of creating something truly unique.

From epoxy-coated tumblers with shimmering finishes to sublimated t-shirts and engraved designs, every piece is made with handcrafted precision and imagination.
Our mission is simple: to craft items that make people smile, celebrate individuality, and bring a touch of handmade warmth to everyday life.


The Meaning Behind the Name

The name “Black Cat’s Rigsby” reflects Laura’s love for cats — especially her mischievous black cats that always seem to sneak into her workspace — and her belief that creativity thrives in the unexpected.
Each creation carries that same playful spirit: bold, unique, and full of personality.


What We Create

At Black Cat’s Rigsby, no two items are exactly the same.
Our collections include:

  • Custom Tumblers: Hand-painted, inked, or sublimated designs sealed with crystal-clear epoxy.

  • 👕 T-Shirts & Apparel: Comfortable, creative wearables with original designs and southern charm.

  • 🎨 Home Décor & Gifts: Slate coasters, ornaments, and small craft items perfect for gifting or collecting.

  • 💎 Laser & Engraved Creations: Unique pieces made with precision and creativity using modern tools like the X-Tool laser engraver.

Every piece is crafted with attention to detail — combining artistry, durability, and love.


Our Philosophy

We believe that handmade means heart-made.
When you shop from a small business, you’re not just buying a product — you’re supporting creativity, family, and passion.
That’s why we put care into every order, from packaging to final polish, ensuring your item is as beautiful as it is meaningful.

We also stand behind:

  • Ethical crafting practices

  • Locally sourced materials where possible

  • Supporting other small businesses and creators in our community


Events & Markets

You can find Black Cat’s Rigsby at craft fairs and markets across Louisiana, including events like Hollydays Market and other regional shows.
We love connecting in person — showing our work, hearing your stories, and sharing the art that makes us smile.
