Our story

HaveBeenThere was founded by Marc and Hannes, two creatives with a vision to build something beyond just clothing. It all started in early 2024 under the name HustleBeatsTalent, when we began printing our own designs by hand. But as much as we loved the process, it became clear that it limited our creativity. We wanted to push further, refine our vision, and bring our ideas to life without compromise. Fortunately, we found an incredible production team in Turkey that allowed us to do just that. With full control over materials, cuts, and details, we could finally create pieces exactly the way we envisioned them. Our first official collection, DrugsKillDreams, marked that turning point. But as our aesthetic evolved, we realized that the name HustleBeatsTalent no longer reflected what we were building. We needed something that felt right—something that captured the atmosphere, the energy, and the identity of our brand. That’s how HaveBeenThere was born. At HBT, fit and details are everything. The way clothing sits on the body shapes the entire look. We make sure every piece fits exactly the way it should — balanced, clean, and on point. But what really makes a garment stand out are the details. For us, details are what turn an 8 or 9 out of 10 into a real 10. They’re the subtle elements that make you instantly feel the love and thought that went into creating the piece — whether it’s the perfect seam, a surprising print placement, or the structure of the fabric itself. That’s the difference between just another piece of clothing and something you want to wear every day. We’re not just another brand; we’re here to shake things up. Our fits and details make each piece distinct. HBT isn’t about following trends; it’s about building something with its own presence. After all, have you ever seen a logo like ours? Exactly. Fast shipping? Of course. But most importantly, we make sure every detail—fabric, structure, and fit—is dialed in before it ever reaches you. THANK YOU FOR READING - MARC & HANNES
