About Urbanhardwear

Pip and Luci, on the trail of another great design...either that or their next afternoon nap.

Shhh, I keep all my dyes and sprays outside. Don't tell the neighbors. It makes me nervous when they smoke out there!
-
Once upon a time this was my kitchen table. Now it's my work table. Eh, who needs to eat there? Let's go out!
-
The back patio is both our afternoon relaxation spot and our outdoor dyeing and drying room.

My clothes closet shares space with bins of scrap leather and supplies
Three dogs and a girl
From a press release...they say it so much better than I ever could:
Tye Lombardi, the founder and creator of Urban Hardwear, began doing freelance costume design in the early 1990’s
but made the leap to fashion in 2008 after she started getting requests for a jacket she had created for fun. She has since designed for numerous television shows including “Sons of Anarchy,” and “Alabama.” Her work has been featured in Plaster Magazine (http://www.plastermag.com), at the Gallery 212/Trends Gallery in Seal Beach. Her line has been carried in stores in both Malibu and Hawaii.
Urban Hardwear has participated in several fashion shows including “Sugar does Steampunk,” “Lust,” and “Sugar Show 2010.”
The Urban Hardwear clothing collection has carved out a niche in the fashion industry because of the one-of-a-kind
appeal of its jackets, belts, bags and unique accessories. The clothing is recognized for innovative use of recycled
and repurposed materials. The style is a blend of luxury and industrial edge, bringing together two otherwise opposite sides of the spectrum into a collection that is both tough and durable but also feminine and delicate.
Each piece in the Urban Hardwear collection is crafted by hand, often with hand-stitched and embellished pieces.
No two single pieces are ever identical. Despite these meticulous details, the fashions sell at lower prices than those of competitors.
Founded in 2005, U*H Inc. opened the online store recently to create an exclusive outlet for the Urban Hardwear
clothing line.
From me: KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN FOR THE NEW ZOMBIE INSPIRED LINE!! Coming soon!
From the dogs: COOKIES

If an item is purchased and you decline international tracking, we will not be responsible for lost packages.
Current USPS rate increases have resulted in several shipping options that we are happy to discuss with you in order to give you the best service possible.
Thank you for understanding.
