About the company
NAMED COLLECTIVE was launched with a clear mission: to redefine streetwear for a new generation. A brand, a community, a revolution… call it what you want - just make sure you don’t sleep on it.
We’re a community before brand - dialogue, innovation, and genuine connection are the essence of NAMED COLLECTIVE. Together with our fiercely supportive community, we’re co-creating streetwear for today and the future - a guiding light for those who refuse to blend in.
NAMED COLLECTIVE has over 1.5m highly engaged community members and customers on our socials and has already generated profitable 15x growth over the past 4 years. We’re only scratching the surface of what’s possible for the brand internationally, with 35% of sales in the UK, 35% in the USA and 30% across the rest of the world from our one eCommerce store.
In May, we completed a review with proven brand / DTC growth consultancy The Growth Foundation to help guide our growth, with particular attention on building the right team to deliver our ambitious plans for continued, profitable growth over the coming years.
