About URLI

URLI - Brown Living™

URLI began with a memory — the Urli bowl in my grandmother’s kitchen. A vessel of warmth, beauty, and celebration, it symbolized togetherness and meaning in everyday life. Inspired by this legacy, I wanted to create a brand that brings culture, craft, and consciousness together. With over two decades of experience in design and product creation, I have witnessed how fast-paced fashion often overlooks what truly matters — people, culture, and the planet. While business grew and fashion has become accessible to everyone, so has adulteration, the amount of the harsh chemicals n synthetics that have seeped into our ecosystem. URLI was born out of a longing for something more mindful: clothing that respects nature, honours heritage, and embraces modern sensibility.
