Behind the Design: Lunar New Year "Known by Few"
Every year, Lunar New Year gives us a moment to pause and reflect on what we want to carry forward — not just culturally, but as a brand and as people. Last year’s Madam Snake, inspired by Lady Bai, became the starting point of a tradition we didn’t fully realize we were creating at the time. This year, we wanted to continue that story in a way that felt just as intentional, just as personal.
We’ve Moved — Join Us for Our Store Reopening
UrbanCred has officially moved to a new location, and we’re opening the doors with something simple: a reason to hang out.

This year, skip the ordinary and gift them gear that balances form and function. Here’s our curated guide for the creators, designers, photographers, and thinkers who bring ideas to life—wherever they are.
Checking the Box: Why Evergoods is Finally Here at UrbanCred
For me (Gordon), this isn't just another new brand; it’s a personal victory and the culmination of a long-running internal mission. Ever since I first started working here, I’ve been asking the same question: "Hey, Eddy, how about Evergoods? Can we get Evergoods?" It always felt like that big, satisfying task we kept putting off. Well, consider that box checked. Evergoods finally reached back out and confirmed what we've always wanted to hear. They're ready to join us in bringing their collection to UrbanCred!
