Our Story

Welcome to Detroit Dry Goods, where creativity meets craftsmanship, and passion fuels innovation. Our journey began in 2018 when we embarked on the adventure of marriage, laying the foundation for a life filled with love, family, and entrepreneurial spirit.

In 2019, our family expanded with the arrival of our first daughter, Maia, bringing immeasurable joy and inspiration into our lives. Just two years later, in 2021, we welcomed our second daughter, Nora, adding even more meaning and purpose to our journey.

Our story took a significant turn in 2020 when we made the bold decision to relocate from Eastpointe to Clinton Township, seeking new opportunities and a fresh start. It was during this time that The Tucker Collective was born, initially conceived as a hobby project fueled by our shared passion for creativity and crafting. Armed with a Cricut machine, we began experimenting with vinyl shirts and decals, starting small but dreaming big.

As demand for our unique creations grew, so did our aspirations. With relentless dedication and a commitment to quality, we expanded our product line to include over 200 items, catering to a diverse range of tastes and preferences. Through platforms like Etsy, The Tucker Collective flourished, amassing over 500 sales and earning a reputation as a thriving boutique.

However, we knew that to truly realize our vision and transform our passion into a sustainable business, we needed to elevate our craft. Thus, our journey into the world of laser engraving began. Investing in our first CO2 laser marked a pivotal moment in our entrepreneurial journey, albeit one accompanied by a steep learning curve. Over the course of a year, we immersed ourselves in mastering this new tool, determined to unlock its full potential.

Driven by a thirst for knowledge and a hunger for growth, we soon found ourselves captivated by the possibilities offered by laser technology. With the acquisition of additional lasers—both diode and infrared—we expanded our capabilities, pushing the boundaries of creativity and craftsmanship.

Today, as Detroit Dry Goods, we stand as one of the premier laser engravers in Southeast Michigan, serving a diverse clientele ranging from corporate giants seeking next-level corporate gifts to local motorcycle clubs in need of personalized merchandise. From bespoke wedding favors to custom signage and everything in between, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional quality and unmatched attention to detail.

Yet, our journey is far from over. Fueled by our passion for innovation and a relentless pursuit of excellence, we remain committed to pushing the boundaries of what's possible, one engraving at a time. With every project, we aim to exceed expectations, inspire creativity, and leave a lasting impression.

Join us as we continue to write the next chapter of our story—one filled with creativity, craftsmanship, and endless possibilities. At The Tucker Collective and Detroit Dry Goods, the journey is just beginning.
