How We Started
From One Machine To A Full Studio
SharkPatches began in a garage in 2018 with a single second-hand embroidery machine and a handful of local sports teams as our first customers. We didn't set out to be the biggest — we set out to be the ones who actually cared whether your patch looked right.
That meant free proofs before anyone asked for them, real people answering emails, and a refusal to ship anything we wouldn't put on our own jackets. Word got around. Local teams became small businesses, and small businesses became brands shipping worldwide.
We're still run by the same people who started it — just with a lot more embroidery machines, and a lot more patches under our belt.
