first rack of custom clothes

It Started with One Rack...

Okay, Mothlings—story time.

Let’s rewind to Fall of 2024. No Whatnot shows. No killer set. No weekly stickers. Just two brothers in a basement with one rack of clothes, a pile of thrift finds, and a wild idea:
“What if we made goth clothes… but made them our way?”

That’s how Moth Bros started.

No fancy studio. Just the boys, a sewing machine that acted up on the regular, and clothes that were literally stitched together from scraps, safety pins, and busted chains. We’re talking Franken-fits before it was even a thing.

The pics you’re about to see? They’re OG.
Matthew and Andrew next to their very first collection—awkward lighting, raw vibes, and every piece made with love (and probably a few In-n-Out burgers). No filters. No hype. Just heart.

This is where it all began.
Before the Moth Lair, before the shows, before “Mothlings” was a thing—there were just two bros trying to bring a little edge to the basement.

And y’all… they’ve come a long way.
