It started with
one patch
and some feelings

Retrograde started the way most questionable ideas do. One guy, too much creativity, and some unresolved feelings. I made a patch that said the thing I was too anxious to say out loud, put it on the internet, and people who felt the same way started buying it.

Turns out a lot of us are quietly falling apart, and I was just funny about it. The patches turned into stickers, the stickers turned into pins and hats, and somewhere in there my mom got roped in and it stopped being a hobby.

Now it lives in 160 shops and ships to about half the planet. Still just the two of us.
