Hi, I’m Mercedes, the owner of Checkered Charm Co.! I’m a wife, mama of three, first responder, and part of a family that lives for race day. 🏁
We race nearly every week, and I was always looking for cute, race-inspired freshies and accessories—but could never find exactly what I wanted. So I decided to start making them myself!
That’s how Checkered Charm Co. was born—bringing together my love for racing, creating, and a little pink & checkered flair. 🎀🏁
Texas made • Race family inspired • Made with love

FAQ
What scents do you offer?
We offer a rotating lineup of race-inspired scents, including Midnight Checkered, Cherry Redline, Leather & Horsepower, Pit Crew Paradise, Race Day, Victory Lane Babe, Boujee in the Pits, Jack’d Up, Burnout, Full Throttle, and Cowboy in the Pits.
How long do freshies last?
Freshies typically last 3–6 weeks, but scent strength can vary depending on the fragrance, temperature, and where your freshie is kept. Texas heat can make your freshie smell stronger but may also cause the scent to fade faster.
Do you offer custom charms?
Yes! We love custom race-day orders. Depending on the design, we may be able to customize colors, race numbers, beads, charms, or other details. Message us before ordering if you have something specific in mind.
Are the beads safe for sun?
Hang your freshie freely and avoid placing it directly against your dashboard, plastic, leather, painted surfaces, or other interior materials. Freshies can become soft in extreme heat, so handle them carefully during hot Texas weather.
Shipping on craft supplies?
Our products are handmade, so please allow time for your order to be created and prepared. Current processing times will be listed with the product or provided when you place a custom order. While we try to have orders out quick please be advised it could take 3 to 5 days if we are stacked with orders.
Return policy for crafts?
Due to the artisanal nature of our scent-infused products, we only accept returns on unused hardware and non-fragrance items within 14 days of delivery.
