This post is super emotional for me so thanks in advance to everyone who will take the time to read it in full.
It's almost unreal to see how far we've come in our first year of existence, working with bands I've admired for a long time. This is a complete dream and honor for me. Since I started in this I only had one thing on my mind, to make patches for one of my favorite bands of all time: PORTAL. And the most amazing and gratifying thing is that I did it, but it was not easy to get their attention.
Thanks to each one of the bands, artists and of course to ALL our customers and friends who've trusted us and this project that is still in its early stages. The whole team behind TDP is determined to take this to the next level so we will be here for a long time, being faithful to the brand and giving the customer service that all of you deserve.
This first year has been full of delays, tons of learning, not closed deals and a lot of stress, but all this has taught us that perseverance and dedication is the key to success.
For this new year we promise to bring you more and bigger batches and of course, continue collaborating with my great friend, Samuel from Inner Paths Patches, and a surprise we're working on with my good friends from Iron Collapse and of course, collaborate with other labels.
I also have to thank my wife, Michelle for ALWAYS supporting me in my projects. She's an indispensable part of the TDP team since she's in charge of customer service with more than 20 years of experience in that field.
I can't put Samuel aside. My best friend and INCREDIBLE designer. Without him this wouldn't be the same so thank you for being part of this since day zero, dear friend.
One of the first changes in this evolution is that we'll move to our official website that Michelle has been working hard on for a few weeks to have it ready by the end of this month, among other things.
Thank you ALL for being part of our huge family around the world.
Please feel free to share if you have something from us in your collection, either in the comments or Instagram stories. We'll be HAPPY to see you on this anniversary.
Much love from Honduras 🖤
Best, Rossell
