The Founder's Story

Built by an Engineer who chose craft over career

Gabriel Weider, Founder of grabNade, looking forward

Hi, I'm Gabriel. I founded grabNade in 2025 to bring engineering precision to casual wear.

Our name is a fusion: “grab n’ aid”, a call to lift each other higher, and the explosive creativity of a hand grenade.

Why did an Engineer start a clothing brand?

For 15 years, I designed precision special machines for fluid control and medical devices in Switzerland. I was good at it. I loved the craft. But the politics? The careerists who cared more about investor presentations than building something real? That killed it. When I got fired because someone above me needed a scapegoat, I felt relief.

I built grabNade as my escape hatch. A place without compromise. I don't own factories. Instead, I used my engineering background to audit and select the absolute best partners in the world.

Common Questions

Is grabNade fast fashion?
No. We operate on a made-to-order model. We never overproduce. A garment is only printed when you order it, significantly reducing landfill waste compared to traditional retail. Read more about our sustainable practices.
Where are your products made?
We source "blanks" (unprinted apparel) from manufacturers holding GOTS (Options. Clearly identified in product page), WRAP or Fair Wear, and OEKO-TEX certifications. These are then printed using eco-friendly inks in facilities in the USA or Europe, depending on your delivery address.
Why trust a brand with no reviews?
We trust data over hype. While we are a new brand (est. 2025), our partners have produced millions of high-quality garments. We leverage their proven supply chains to guarantee your satisfaction. If the engineering isn't right, we fix it.
