About us

My name is Gustavo and my girlfriends name is Nikki. Together we started this small business during a pandemic. Covid spread across the world and what we didn't know was that eventually because of it, our job would get closed down for a couple months. Luckily, before it got closed down, we had made the decision to buy supplies to tie dye. Now it all started with dying clothes for ourselves because we are both huge fans of the tie dye style. We started to share our results on our personal instagrams which eventually led to friends and family messaging us, asking if we can make them some also. The more we made shirts for everyone else the more we got to thinking. Eventually, we started talking about how awesome it would be to create our own brand. Now we didn't have the best lives growing up but we also didn't have the worst lives. We knew that we hadn't made the best decisions growing up in life. We talked about all the things that had left us damaged from our past experiences and how we overcame them even though deep down inside we were still hurting but still aiming to live our lives as happy as we can be. Then the name "Happily Damaged" was created.
