Uneek Society



For a clothing company that hasn't been around for even a year, Uneek Society seems to be one of the big "its" lately. Making a good name for itself, the brand provides two important factors to its clients: Elitism and Basics. Exclusiveness is one aspect that pushes this brand to the top with only 5 prints of every shirt and hoodie (with exception to the special editions of one). Simplicity is the other ingredient which makes Uneek Society stand out. Using flock print designs, black or white shirts, and gold or silver foil, the simple manner of the clothing makes it interesting and entertaining.

Royce Jonathan handles everything from marketing to customer service to management and has made Uneek Society what it is. Owning your own line is an accomplishment within itself, but when you are successful at it, it makes it that much more important. The name alone stands out as something special. It is geared toward providing a sense of relationship within the brand. Once you have a Uneek Society original, you are part of their community which shows the brands dedication to their clients.

They are heading up big in no time, so keep an eye out. We'll share more of Uneek Society with you once we get some new word. For the time being, head over to their site and check them out.


(Uneek Society clothing comes in male and female versions so nobody is left out)
