NEW BRANDS!

In September of 2004, brothers Mitchell and Ethan Rose (Los Angeles) created a lifestyle called Kowboys. Their motto: Clothing with an upscale style on the downlow. Shortly after, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon were photographed in their shirts, and the rest is history. Kowboys carries amazing cashmere sweaters, thermals, and tops for the laid back classy man.

Just in time for the holidays, UrbanMinx Boutique has just added # hot new brands to their already remarkable selection of designer clothing. For your denim needs, the Boutique has just added Paper Denim & Cloth and Red Engine. Paper Denim and Cloth was established in Nov '99 and quickly became synonymous with fashion-forward denim jeans styling and impeccable product quality. Paper Denim and Cloth products have been featured in a variety of international magazines including Vogue, Bazaar, Elle, InStyle, Wallpaper, Surface, W and GQ making it apparent that Paper Denim and Cloth's concept of blending contemporary American styling with premium imported denims and authentic hand finishing is right on target. UrbanMinx.com has just started carrying several different styles including the Bootcut Blue Fusion Jean, the Peg Leg Dark Jean and the Black or Dark Straight Leg Jeans. Paper Denim and Cloth uses premium American, Italian and Japanese denims, cotton knits, and twills exclusively. A unique feature found in Paper Denim and Cloth's women's collection is the use of a two-piece contour waistband that provides a significantly better fit.

Red Engine jeans exploded on the scene in 1998 and it haven’t slowed down since. Known for their vintage denim, great fit, and quality, Red Engine was quick to become a favorite of the denim connoisseur. Incredible washes and cuts make this denim a must-have for every body type! Tremendous amounts of hand detailing and unique components make this classic meets cutting edge line a must!

The Gold Hawk designer clothing line is truly unique as it embodies contemporary, yet romantic visions of the past. Gold Hawk clothing includes the Gold Hawk camisole, various styles of Gold Hawk tunics and many Gold Hawk romantic tops. The inspiration of creator Michele Dahan, who claims, "The camisole is the new tank top", has permitted her own nature to spill over into her work. This treasury of dreamy camisoles, slip dresses, cashmere sweaters, and skirts is available in vibrant and provocative colors, and at the same time, the alluring soft side of femininity is delivered through its sultry silks and feathery cashmere fabrics. There is no question why Gold Hawk has become an international sensation or why trendsetters like Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jennifer Lopez are all devotees. Only found at the most exclusive boutiques including UrbanMinx.com, Gold Hawk spans five continents and has become an exquisite addition to your wardrobe!

Love from Australia was launched in 2003 to bring genuine Australian ugg boots to the UK at the time when the phenomenon was at an all time high. Australian sheepskin is the best in the work and working with a small factory in Melbourne who had been making uggs since the ‘60s, they launched the brand now sold in high end boutiques and independent shoe stores across the globe. Love from Australia, or LFA as it is now more usually referred to, has become synonymous with luxury and style and clever in-trend twists on the classic Aussie icon. They specialize in customized boots, combining the comfort of sheepskin with a little glitz and glamour and have working with some fabulous British and European designers (Matthew Williamson, Antik Batik…). In 2005, LFA gave us the Nomad (carried by urbanminx.com) and it was quickly picked up by fashion icon Sienna Miller and much loved mom, Jools Oliver. Waiting lists shot in the hundreds.

check out our new designers

Check out the new designers at UrbanMinx.com. You may notice they have included some very interesting lines to complement the existing fashion designers they represent. The first line they added was perfect for this time of year. Just as it got cold, Urbanminx.com stepped up and brought us Blanc Noir brand jackets and coats. These well-designed pieces will keep you in style while ensuring you stay cozy and warm in all types of weather. With cropped coats, belted jackets and full length beauties to chose from you may find your self overwhelmed. These are great for covering up a light top like a Splendid Henley, Mimi and Coco Filo Bustier or Bordeaux lace halter top, can be worn with a Max and Cleo designer dress and look great with any of our designer denim including Red Engine or our Billy Blues trousers. Another hot line added is the Gold Hawk designer clothing line, which is truly unique as it embodies contemporary, yet romantic visions of the past. Gold Hawk clothing includes the Gold Hawk camisole, various styles of Gold Hawk tunics and many Gold Hawk romantic tops. The inspiration of creator Michele Dahan, who claims, "The camisole is the new tank top", has permitted her own nature to spill over into her work. This treasury of dreamy camisoles, slip dresses, cashmere sweaters, and skirts is available in vibrant and provocative colors, and at the same time, the alluring soft side of femininity is delivered through its sultry silks and feathery cashmere fabrics. There is no question why Gold Hawk has become an international sensation or why trendsetters like Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jennifer Lopez are all devotees. Only found at the most exclusive boutiques including UrbanMinx.com, Gold Hawk spans five continents and has become an exquisite addition to your wardrobe! Each season acquiring a new Gold Hawk camisole has become a must for the women whose closet is filled with Twisted Heart designer sweats, Red Engine denim Jeans, and Love and Liberty designer ugg boots. Wearing a Gold Hawk cami under a blazer or with a short cashmere sweater for an evening out lets women feel simply delicious. The third line added and the last I will speak to here was Love from Australia which was launched in 2003 to bring genuine Australian made ugg boots to the UK when the “ugg boot” phenomenon was at an all time high. Australian sheepskin is the best in the world and working with a small factory in Melbourne who had been making ugg boots since the ‘60’s, Love From Australia launched the designer brand ugg boot now sold only in “high-End” boutiques and of course can be found at UrbanMinx.com. Love from Australia or LFA as it is now more usually refereed to, has become synonymous with luxury and style and clever trendy twists on the classic Aussie icon “the ugg boot”. LFA specialize in designer customized ugg boots, combining the comfort of sheepskin with a little glitz and glamour and have worked with some fabulous British and European designers (Matthew Williamson, Antik Batik and more) to create a line of designer ugg boots. In 2005 Love for Australia brought you the Nomad, picked up by celebrity fashion icon Sienna Miller and much loved mum, Jools Oliver. Waiting lists shot into the hundreds and few boutiques could even get an order in. If these designer ugg boots make your wish list, do not hesitate as the consistently sell out quickly. These boots accent any of our designer denim jeans particularly Red Engine Jeans and should be worn with a Gold Hawk Camisole under a Twisted Heart Hoodie for a classy look or a Splendid Henley for a more casual look. About the only thing we would not suggest you wear with these is one of our Max and Cleo designer dress’s.
