The Goodbye Brothers brand began when my parents gifted me an embroidery machine for my 17th birthday. I had the idea to test the machine by embroidering “Goodbye Brothers” on various articles of clothing-- t-shirts, hoodies, beanies-- to give to my friend group. Once we started wearing the Goodbye Brothers clothing in public and at school, people began asking where they could purchase some. It took off from there. I started taking orders and making custom articles of clothing for others with my single embroidery machine stationed at my kitchen table, and thus the Goodbye Brothers brand was in full force.
