THE/STUDIO
THE/STUDIO is a custom product manufacturing and on-demand merchandising platform that connects brands, creators, and organizations to a global network of vetted factories. Founded in 2013 as a custom patch shop, it now produces 300+ categories of custom goods - pins, patches, apparel, coins, drinkware and more - with no minimum orders, fast turnaround, and software that compresses the traditional sourcing process from months to days. The company positions itself as a modern, ethical answer to slow legacy manufacturing, serving over 100,000 customers including Nike, Adidas, Netflix, Uber and the Met Store.
