Brand Story
OUR PHILOSOPHY
At Uranta, we create clothes for an active lifestyle. We make creative and fun clothes, meticulously stitched with love in small batches at our fair trade workshop in Mexico: high quality, comfortable, and functional.
Our clothes are made for people who celebrates their life through the inspiration delivered by movement. People who like to dance, stretch, sweat, jump and clap through every moment of their lives.
We promote a healthy lifestyle committed to the community and the environment. We want everyone in society to become more aware of their surroundings, of what they consume, and how their actions impact the planet.
We work with a small team of individuals, and together we form relationships of lasting support. From the people who stitch the clothes to those who distribute around the world, we are the Uranta Tribe united as a family with a common mission to make the world more harmonious.
