Product Details & Size Guide
Wear a piece of company history with this Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams Hoodie / Sweatshirt. Founded in 1989 in Taylorsville, North Carolina, the brand grew from a partnership between furniture buyer Mitchell Gold and designer Bob Williams. Its story includes an employee-focused factory, changing ownership, a founder buyback in 2002, and a national showroom presence. The company announced its closure in 2023, then its intellectual property and equipment were acquired by Surya. This comfortable everyday layer is for fans who follow the brand’s roots and next chapter.
Mitchell Gold and Bob Williams founded their upholstery company in 1989 in Taylorsville, North Carolina. Gold had worked as a furniture buyer at Bloomingdale's, while Williams, a former graphic artist, designed the line. In the early 1990s, the founders bought an existing Taylorsville factory and developed employee amenities that included air conditioning, a gym, a health clinic, child care, and a cafeteria. Rowe Furniture acquired the company in 1998, with the founders continuing to manage it. Gold and Williams bought it back with New York investors in 2002 and renamed it Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams to recognize both founders. The company opened its first furniture showroom in Washington, D.C., in 2007 and later operated about 24 showrooms. The Stephens Group acquired it in late 2014. On August 26, 2023, the company announced an immediate closure of its operations, including its North Carolina facilities and showrooms; it cited an inability to secure additional financing. Bankruptcy proceedings followed. Surya acquired the brand's intellectual property, inventory, and manufacturing equipment in November 2023, with plans to reintroduce it as a trade-only brand and revive production at its original North Carolina facilities.
