HISTORY
Founded in 1991 by Alan Blau, UbU entered the fashion world as a tye-dye sweats and t-shirt company. In 1996, David Koral came aboard and combined both of their talents to form the UbU International Corporation.
From sweats and t-shirts, UbU began growing with the production of women’s pleated jackets and has since evolved into an ever expanding and interchangeable line of women’s travel apparel in the form of jackets, blouses, dresses, skirts, bags and more! Our garments have been made available through nearly 3000 specialty clothing boutiques, resort and luggage stores, and pro-shops throughout the United States. Additionally, several large name department stores also carry a variety of UbU styles. Each style is hand pleated and ideal for packing and traveling. UbU garments are lightweight, yet still warm, wrinkle free and available in many solid colors as well as incredibly fun prints. Our customers can't keep styles in stock!
UbU is an expressive women's fashion line, designed for comfort, travel, flexibility and style, for women of all personalities. Each garment is unique, just like everyone who wears UbU. The company is built around a simple concept, "Promote positives in life, stay inspired and always be yourself!"
