About Us

Company

Union 12 Design is an apparel design and production studio specializing in awesome gear! We are a team of thinkers, designers and magic makers in New Canaan, Connecticut. We work with organizations of all shapes and sizes on projects big and small where logo wear depends on both smart design and product innovation. Our job is to enrich communities with a sense of pride, to create moments that truly matter to our customers and people around them. We do this by curating a “collection”—an idea, a brand, an experience—that serves as a playbook for everyone who believes in coming together for love of cool gear.
