2023, The launch of Upcycled by UME Atelier
In 2023 we expanded our vision with UME Atelier, where talented young female designers upcycle pre-loved and vintage garments into one-of-a-kind pieces , giving fashion not just a second, but even a third life.
Vintage treasures & curated collections
Beyond pre-loved and upcycled pieces, we source standout vintage designer finds and curate timeless essentials so you can complete your outfit in one place, consciously and in style.
