Unknown Union is very proud to announce our latest collaboration, the Levi’s® Premium Showcase opening Friday November 16th.

Levi’s® Vintage Clothing makes its African debut alongside a curated selection of premium pieces for both men and women.

Levi’s® Vintage Clothing is an authentic assortment dedicated to capturing the spirit of American workwear. Each season, the LVC range offers a selection of the most notorious of their “Icons” from a specific period in time, re­producing the precise fits, fabrics and details of the original garments found in the Levi’s® Archives.

Very excited to have our second shipment from Topshop and Topman on sale at Unknown Union now. This time the focus is more on Topshop for women, with over 100 new styles from Jeans and Hotpants to Backpacks and Sunglasses. There’s some great new pieces for the Topman as well. Supplies are extremely limited though – only one piece per size. Get here before they’re gone!

Unknown Union couldn’t be more proud of original member Yannick Ilunga, better known as Petite Noir. We’ve posted this video for “Till We Ghosts” before but today it was named Best New Track by Pitchfork.

The Guardian UK raved “The first three words he sings are “Oh my God”, which is exactly how we felt when we heard this.”

The downside of all this success is that we don’t see Yannick as much we used to: he just returned from Senegal and he’s leaving for London soon to prepare for his live debut Read further...

The wait is over! The Topshop and Topman pop-up shop launches at Unknown Union this Thursday July 12th!

While working hard to get the Topshop and Topman pop-up shop ready for next week, we got a pleasant surprise yesterday with the arrival of Levi’s new premium Commuter line. Designed with the urban cyclist in mind, this is the nicest range of product we’ve seen from Levi’s in a very long time and is only available at a handful of select retailers.

Gorgeous time-lapse video by Rory Allen of the removal of the Japanese trawler recently shipwrecked on the shores of Clifton Beach. What was supposed to take a day ended up taking four. Bad for the beach, but it made for lovely visuals. The trawler is now moored safely in the harbor.

UU was honored to provide the music and some prizes for the Scar-A-Thon event on May 12th. Our neighbors at Scar Hair organized an amazing event to benefit the Cancer Society of South Africa and the Saartjie Baartman Centre for Women and Children

It was a beautiful Spring (Fall?) day, my first back in Cape Town after a trip to New York. With FHM Model Samantha Laura Kaye flipping burgers and volunteers getting their heads (or chests) shaved right next to the DJ booth, it was a wonderful and surreal Read further...

Following the release of his hugely acclaimed debut LP ‘Lucky Shiner’ back in 2010, a record that won The Guardian’s First Album Award , Gold Panda – has announced a new 7” ‘Mountain/Financial District’ and a selected tour of live dates and festival appearances.

An artist who’s never felt the need to try and find his place, or even give the notion of attempting to fit in credence, ‘Mountain/Financial District’ is another wonderfully singular piece of work. It’s a return that he describes as a “short story,” hinting at Read further...
