We didn’t start with a catalog — we started with a problem.
I’m Andy Macias, founder and Head Merchismoso In Charge. Back in my tailgate-rental days, I realized most pop-up tents couldn’t handle real-world conditions. So, I built one that could — a patent-protected, heavy-duty tent with a built-in gutter system. That invention launched Gutterpy Tents, and from there, the mission grew.
What began as one product turned into a passion: helping brands, schools, and communities stand out. Over time, our clients wanted more than tents — they wanted creative merch that told their story with confidence and style.
That’s where the evolution began.
Machismo has always meant boldness and confidence — we just gave it a creative twist. Merchismo takes that same fearless energy and channels it into bold ideas, big impact, and unforgettable merch. Then comes Merchismoso — our playful evolution, inspired by the Spanish “-oso,” meaning having the quality of.
Stay Bold. Stay Creative. Stay Merchismoso!
(And if you’re curious — yes, that original Gutterpy tent still runs circles around the competition. Here's how it started!)
