ABOUT UB CREATIVE

about-ubcreative

Our journey began in the early 2000s, in the bustling streets of Melville, Johannesburg, within a quaint retail shop known as Ushlon Ballagan. From our humble beginnings, we curated a collection of ladies’ fashion, jewelry, handbags, and accessories, captivating the attention of local boutiques with our distinctive style.

The attention of these boutiques was embraced, and we started supplying them on a wholesale basis. Given this very exciting shift, Ushlon Ballagan was transformed with much love and thought, emerging as UB Creative.

Since our rebranding, UB Creative has flourished, elevating our fashion wholesale and production to new heights with official company registration and trademark in 2013. We pride ourselves on supplying exclusive, exciting, and exquisite designs from around the globe as well as producing locally and bringing those designs to our discerning clientele.

Our mission was clear: to embody confidence in reliability, quality, and service delivery, with an unwavering commitment to unlocking the unlimited potential of not just ourselves but also of our customers.

In 2017, we embarked on an exciting new venture – UB Corporate. Born out of a desire to cater to the corporate world’s needs, UB Corporate specializes in providing top-notch corporate and occupational uniforms and footwear.

What began with specialized corporate footwear has evolved into a comprehensive offering, serving clients across various industries including airlines, hotels, hospitals, restaurants, salons, and spas. From off-the-shelf clothing to bespoke uniform solutions, UB Corporate has become synonymous with attention to detail, quality, and reliability in the corporate apparel sector.

Our dedication to excellence and our unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction drives us forward. Join us as we continue to push boundaries, exceed expectations, and make our mark on the world of fashion and corporate apparel.

Experience the UB difference. Explore our collections, connect with us, and let’s create something extraordinary together. Welcome to UB Creative. Welcome to UB Corporate. Welcome to unlimited possibilities.
