It all started with a simple idea: to create fashion that moves with you, not against you. Back in 2018, our founder, Sarah, was tired of sacrificing comfort for style. "Why can't we have both?" she wondered. After months of late-night sketches and fabric samples piled high in her tiny apartment, UrbanMode was born—a brand built for real women with real lives.
I remember Sarah telling me about that "aha" moment at a crowded subway station. She saw a woman struggling to run in heels while juggling a coffee and laptop bag. "That's when I knew," she said, "we're doing fashion all wrong."
Honestly? We think clothing should work for you. Whether you're racing to meetings, chasing toddlers at the park, or finally taking that weekend getaway, our pieces are designed to keep up. We obsess over details you might not even notice—like hidden stretch panels and moisture-wicking linings—because those little things make all the difference.
Here's the thing—we're not just selling clothes. We're helping women reclaim their time and confidence. One customer told us she used to spend 30 minutes every morning changing outfits. Now? She grabs our convertible dress and is out the door in five. That's the kind of impact that keeps us going.
And let's talk about sustainability. We're not perfect, but we're trying—like using recycled fabrics in 60% of our new collection. It's not just about looking good today, but feeling good about tomorrow too.
You know what's funny? Some of our best-selling designs came from customer suggestions. Like the yoga pants that don't show sweat marks (thank you, marathon-running Jessica from Chicago) or the wrinkle-resistant blazer that fits in a carry-on (shoutout to frequent flyer Maria).
We spend hours watching how real women move—how they sit at desks, bend to pick up kids, stretch for overhead luggage. Then we tweak and test until we get it right. Last year alone, we went through 17 prototypes for our bestselling trousers. Was it excessive? Maybe. Worth it? Absolutely.
So whether you're looking for that one perfect piece or rebuilding your entire wardrobe, we've got you covered. Because at the end of the day, fashion should make your life easier—not harder. And that's a promise.
