Packing orders tonight and feeling nostalgic.

These vintage Lucky 13 tees are on the way to two new owners who get it. Back when tees had personality, style had edge, and everything felt electric.

Preloved and brand new vintage gems dropping weekly.

If you know… you know. 🖤

Before alternative style was corporate, it was personal.

Damage, Inc. is back from the archives.

For the ones who lived for baby tees, strange little accessories, platform shoes, glitter liner, mixed CDs, Manic Panic and finding pieces nobody else had…

I’ve officially made my first drop, and more treasures are being unearthed now.

Vintage Y2K, rare originals, underground-era finds, and beloved relics from the Damage, Inc. days are on the way.

Who remembers Damage, Inc.? What did you find there? Show me what you still have in the comments!

Damage Inc. is stirring again… 🖤

In 1994, I opened an alternative clothing store called Damage Inc. — a space for the misfits, the artists, the ones who dressed like the night had something to say.

For nearly 11 years, it lived and breathed in Traverse City.
When I closed the doors in 2005, I held onto pieces I couldn’t quite release — rare finds, unworn inventory, and fragments of a world that didn’t exist anywhere else.

For over 20 years, they’ve been carefully stored.
Waiting.

Lately, I’ve been having a recurring dream — I stumble upon the shop, frozen in time, exactly as I left it… and I plan to reopen it.

Damage Inc. Reboot isn’t a restart — it’s a return.

Some pieces are unworn inventory from the original store.
Some are from my personal collection — worn, loved, and part of the story.

This is a curated archive of 90s and early 2000s alternative fashion — streetwear, goth, industrial, skate, cyber, and bits in between.

I’ll be sharing small, intentional drops — pieces released slowly, as I uncover them again.

If you remember Damage Inc., welcome back.
If you’re new — step inside.
