THE STORY
The brand name SYMAG was established in 2016.When two brothers Abdou,Yusuand friends began creating designs and prototypes in 2017. At the time, we were young and excited by the idea of wearing our own brand. However, we underestimated how challenging it would be to build and sustain a clothing line, especially without understanding the scale and complexity of the fashion industry.
We eventually set up production in a small shop in Bergamo, Italy, where we created our own garments, including hoodies, tops, caps, snapbacks, tracksuits, and woolly hats (commonly referred to as beanies). However, after some time, we decided to take a five-year break from SYMAG to reflect on how we could improve and evolve the brand.
During this break, we identified gaps in the clothing market and focused on becoming more self-sufficient. We educated ourselves in key aspects of garment production, such as screen printing, embroidery, and font customization. This helped us develop a clear vision for the future of SYMAG.
To achieve self-sufficiency, we sought financial support from friends and family. While we initially struggled to secure funding, we were fortunate to receive assistance from a family friend. This financial boost allowed us to invest in essential equipment, including an embroidery machine, heat press, and DTF printer. With these tools, we gained the ability to produce high-quality garments independently, ensuring they met our standards before launching them to the public.
Today, SYMAG has its own dedicated team and continues to strive for excellence and innovation. We’re thrilled to announce that our website officially launched on March 23, 2024. Customers can now browse and order our products directly online. We’ve also been growing steadily through word-of-mouth recommendations and social media, with plans for exciting new summer drops in the works.
SYMAG is on an incredible journey, and we’re looking forward to what the future holds. Thank you for being part of our story.
