Story

Union first opened its doors in NYC in 1989, followed shortly after by the Los Angeles chapter, which is now the only remaining door. Our concept is simple we walk the line of fashion and function. We like to offer functional clothing that has subtle fashion sensibilities.

It is our opinion that most fashion designers/brands will offer design which makes for clothing that is more costumey. On the other hand functional clothing is boring and uninspiring. We find brands that mix both worlds giving our customers more freedom to express themselves without looking like they are playing dress-up.

Our history is steeped in offering clothing and fashion differing from what you can find in department and chain stores. We have always prided our selves in the fact that we give customers an option outside of the mainstream. The way we have been successful at this is two pronged; finding new designers and brands and/or finding brands and designers from overseas and introducing them to the US market.

We've always tried to keep an element of the store where we give young up and coming designers a place to showcase and sell their goods. As a direct outcome, we have become a store that has "broken" many brands here in America, of which most have gone on to great commercial success.

...and while we are always searching for "the new", we also have a sturdy foundation of tried and true brands that we have strong long standing relationships with. We feel that although we are looked at as trend setters, we never carry clothing in here that is "trendy."

Our current product mix is the strongest it has ever been.

Please come thru and check for yourselves.

I live in NYC and it seems like Union was the only place in the country that Peanut & Company jewelry. Glad to find that they had the piece. Called a couple of times to confirm stock, and that I wanted overnight shipping, and was also wondering if it can ship the same day. Well, it shipped the same day, had it the following business day. The guy I spoke to on the phone was definitely chill and accommodating, and even gave me a price break on the over-priced overnight shipping as promised. I liked that. But the shipping was a bit high, it doesn't seem like they have a UPS business account, because the prices that they charge for the shipping seems to be very consumer rate. It should not cost so much for a piece of jewelry that weighs only a couple of ounces.

This place is beyond lame. When you walk in you're immediately confronted by a bunch of hood rats dressed like Aladdin (meanwhile thinking they're fashionable) whispering insults about you while you look at garments on the rack. It's annoying because you want to kill them, but you'll only feed into their bs. Most of the clothing on the rack don't reflect some of the cooler garments on their website, so don't waste your damn time looking through. Overall, the mood felt like the interior was inverted into the facade of the store, and all that is left are the street pigeons on telephone wires sh*iting all over you.

If you want customer service, shop at Nordstrom. Union serves a niche market, like a record shop or comic book store, and isn't for the casual customer looking for a comfortable pair of sneakers. You have to remember that on a daily basis casual browsers criticize and complain -- "$500 for a shirt!? What a rip-off!" (I used to work at a specialty boutique myself, and you can find similar reviews on Yelp! bemoaning our "hipster" staff.) If you had a bad experience at Union, you were likely being a jack-ass. You wouldn't visit a person's home for the first time and immediately start criticizing their furniture. The staff is passionate about design, they work there because they're into it, and often they are active or are pursuing a career in the industry. If you don't like this stuff, fine, but Union is not "retail" per se, it's an entirely different model. Staff tends to give you some space; their clientele doesn't want you to open a dressing room the moment you pick up a coat, and they tend to know the designers Union carries and know what they're looking for. Streetwear is community and regulars interact with staff more as peers than as salespeople; I'd find it alienating if they approached me as a traditional salesperson would. When I do have questions or need help, Union has been terrific, they've spent a long time with me on the phone to let me know when and whether a specific $34 t-shirt would arrive in-store. It wasn't a big sale, but they get it, so they were willing to spend the time helping me out, telling me when shipments arrive, providing details about the company in question (Paradise). I have a number of similar examples. The designers they carry have followings and people for whom style is personal are willing to pay a premium for, say Visvim, which they'd have had to travel to Japan to find before Union began carrying it. If you think that's silly, you don't have to shop there! And id youu're interested in checking Union out and you don't really get the role streetwear thing, don't make a fuss about the price tag of certain garments -- its judgmental and consecding to do so -- apply a little ettiqute and be respectful to the staff, and they will likely be polite in return.
