Celebrating Individuality Through One-of-a-Kind Creations

Published by Ridgeworks | Friday, January 17th, 2025 | Reno, Nevada

Ridgeworks is a custom clothing brand based in Reno, Nevada, blending global textiles and artisanal design to create one-of-a-kind wearable art that celebrates individuality. The visionary behind Ridgeworks, Marcelo Granados, discovered his passion for creating custom clothing through a love of craftsmanship and a desire to tell unique stories through his designs.

With guidance from friends and his community, Marcelo learned how to use a sewing machine in 2018—a skill that would change the course of his life. What began as a personal art project, customizing hats, jackets, vests, and overalls, soon transformed into a passionate pursuit of individuality through clothing.

In spring 2021, Marcelo moved to Reno, Nevada, recovering from a broken ankle and unable to work. When a friend offered him a spot at an art bazaar in Olympic Valley, he decided to try selling his creations for the first time. He made 20 women’s garments, custom shirts, and hats—and sold every piece. That weekend marked the birth of Ridgeworks, turning his hobby into a brand celebrating self-expression and artistry.

Inspired by the rugged charm of the Sierra Nevadas and the vibrant energy of music festivals, each Ridgeworks piece is meticulously crafted using premium materials like Pendleton wool and authentic Peruvian Aztec textiles. The result? Garments that are as unique as the people who wear them.

A Booth on the Move

What sets Ridgeworks apart is its traveling booth—a pop-up shop that vends at music festivals, artisan markets, and events across the West. Each summer, Ridgeworks hits the road from Reno, Nevada, bringing its collection to destinations like Lake Tahoe, California, Oregon, Colorado, Arizona, and beyond.

At every stop, we meet incredible individuals who are drawn to our designs and share our passion for creativity, music, and self-expression. Whether you’re browsing our collection of custom patches, admiring rare textiles, or collaborating on a custom design, the Ridgeworks booth is more than a shop—it’s a space where individuality is celebrated and connections are made.

It’s not just about selling clothing; it’s about crafting meaningful pieces that stand the test of time while telling your unique story. At Ridgeworks, we believe clothing should be more than functional; it should reflect your personality. Every piece we create is one-of-a-kind, rugged enough for life’s adventures, yet thoughtfully designed to celebrate your individual style.
