Info

The word Umi is pronounced (oo-Mee) and was borrowed from the Yao dialect meaning “life” so in essence its Life style Clothing.   Art Director Andrew Grant and Marketing Director Eric Dupree began Umi in 2006.  Ideas and concepts materialized themselves December of the same year.  The Umi debut was well received and provided the encouragement needed to continue. 

Ideas and concepts will be kept original to ensure we attract followers, not become one.  Inspiration for Umi designs is found throughout day to day living and translated through the art work you’ll find on most of the t-shirts.  Traditionally life imitates art, but we have broken tradition and at Umi art imitates life. 

Exclusive Limited Editions

We all can admit at one point or another we have gone out and saw someone wearing exactly what we had on or something you have at home. An awkward thing when you really think about it.  You tried your best to avoid that person so other people wouldn’t think you knew them unless it was intended, we understand.

All the shirts you see from Umi style Clothing are limited edition tees.  What does that mean? Well basically you will see each shirt numbered, as well as, an exclusive hang tag. Sometimes as little as 30 shirts are available in any particular design.  So purchasing an Umi shirt is more than just getting something you like, it’s purchasing something original, unique, and something you won’t see everyone wearing.  For those individuals that like to be different, here is your opportunity.  Be you and everything else will come naturally.
