Merchismo didn’t start with a catalog — it started with a problem.
I’m Andy Macias, founder and Head Merchismoso In Charge. During my tailgate-rental days, I realized most pop-up tents weren’t built for real conditions. So I built one that was — a patent-protected, heavy-duty tent with a built-in gutter system. That invention launched Gutterpy Tents, and it sparked a bigger mission.
As our clients grew, their needs grew too. They wanted more than tents — they wanted creative merch that helped them stand out with confidence and style. That’s when Gutterpy evolved into Merchismo.
The name is inspired by boldness and creativity — a playful twist on “machismo,” blended with the spirit of being Merchismoso: having the quality of bold, unforgettable merch.
We partner with ambitious brands, schools, nonprofits, and fast-growing companies that need to make an impact in a crowded world. Many face tight timelines, limited creative support, or the pressure to grow quickly — and they come to us because they want merch that actually moves the needle.
Our job is simple:
Create bold, memorable, high-quality branded products that work harder for your brand — helping you show up confidently, spark attention, and give people merch they actually want to wear, use, and talk about.
Stay Bold. Stay Creative. Stay Merchismoso!
