the Clandestine Underground - Our Story
About The Clandestine Underground
Welcome to The Clandestine Underground — your hidden haven for one-of-a-kind style and conscious living.
Founded in 2020 by a lifelong creative with a background in art and a degree in fashion merchandising, The Clandestine Underground was built on years of fashion study and a career in retail merchandising. This experience, combined with a passion for originality and a commitment to sustainability, laid the foundation for a brand that’s more than just clothing — it’s a creative rebellion and a promise to do things differently.
Our Ethos
Eclectic & Original:
At our core, we celebrate individuality through eclectic, retro-inspired pieces that blur the lines between vintage nostalgia and modern edge. Our specialty? Effortlessly cool, oversized graphic tees, sweatshirts, and statement layers that turn everyday outfits into a canvas for self-expression. Each design is imagined in-house, ensuring that what you wear is truly yours and no one else’s.
Handcrafted with Heart:
From the first sketch to the final press, every piece is a labor of love. We hand-design and hand-press our graphics in small batches, honoring the slow fashion movement and the art of true craftsmanship. As a proudly small, woman-owned business, we pour our time, creativity, and care into every garment so that it feels personal — because it is.
Sustainable by Design:
We believe great style shouldn’t cost the Earth. Our collections use eco-friendly materials like natural cotton and recycled fibers, and our packaging is 100% curbside recyclable, compostable, or naturally biodegradable. By producing thoughtfully and reducing waste wherever we can, we’re committed to building a future where fashion treads lightly.
Driven by Purpose:
The Clandestine Underground stands for more than just clothes — it’s our way to give back. We donate a portion of every sale (5–10%) to charities supporting animal welfare, social justice, environmental conservation, and women’s empowerment. When you shop with us, you’re helping fund real change and communities in need.
Join the Underground:
The Clandestine Underground is not just a brand — it’s a community for those who crave authentic style and care about the world they live in. Born from a desire to carve out a creative space and lift up local businesses, we invite you to stand with us: wear your individuality boldly, shop responsibly, and help fashion become a force for good.
Welcome to the underground. We’re glad you’re here.
