URBAN NATIVE is a cross-culture lifestyle brand that brings worldwide fashion views into modern-urban context. Lead designer and CEO, Erik Wise, has spent the last 20+ years traveling throughout Africa, the Caribbean and Latin America, experiencing the sights, sounds, tastes and vibrancy of exciting cultures that rarely make it into western fashion or homes.
URBAN NATIVE’s goal is to shrink the world just a little; allowing the enjoyment of sampling what many cultures have to offer. Whether it’s through fashion, skin care, dining, travel, decor or styling, we want this amazing world to come alive for everyone.
URBAN NATIVE maintains a fashion house in Lagos, Nigeria and Florida, USA. Their fabrics and products are produced and/or sourced from Africa and are 100% authentic. URBAN NATIVE purchases their materials directly from independent small business individuals in their respective communities. So when purchasing from URBAN NATIVE, customers can be certain they are giving back directly to those who need it the most. Since most of the materials they use are “limited-run,” they may sell out quickly on their website. URBAN NATIVE’s goal is to bring the highest quality garments and products that may never be seen again. Follow Urban Native on Instagram and Facebook.
