THE LONG RALLY
BUILDING VALLDOREIX
In the beginning it was just me figuring things out. Learning fabrics. Talking to factories that didn’t take me seriously. Making samples that came out wrong. Fixing them. Messing up again.
Drops that didn’t move the way I expected. Shipments that got delayed. Emails I didn’t know how to answer. Sitting alone in the warehouse counting units and wondering if this was actually going to work.
But there were also small moments that meant a lot. The first stranger wearing a Valldoreix tee. The first message from someone saying they felt represented by it. The first time sales felt real, not accidental.
What I tried.
What failed.
What changed.
What I learned.
Just the process of building something I care about.
