A Better Way

Making It Make Sense

We love a good hoodie. We also love artists paying rent. So we’re building a model where both can be true.

  • Better Goods, by design: we’ve moved to higher-standard blanks wherever we can (think Stanley/Stella as the goal), we still use a few reliable legacy options (like Otto/Yupoong), and we’ve retired anything that doesn’t meet our middle bar.
  • Not a label: we’re a union—built to support and amplify quality art, with terms that are straightforward and respectful.
  • Better explanations: clearer notes on sourcing, pricing, and what your purchase actually supports—so you’re never guessing.

If you’ve ever thought, “there has to be a better way,” same. This is us building it—out loud.

The Game

Stay Aware

No releases found.

We checked handles releases and release.

Three ways to back the work.

Umbrella Union is built around a simple idea: the art comes first, and support should be clear, honorable, and easy to explain.

  • Release: the work itself — presented with intention
  • Artist: a way to represent who made it
  • Union: the shared structure — keeps the whole thing standing
