About Us

 

United Trends is a multi-brand selling channel of United Timepieces, a watch design & manufacturing business founded on the merits of creativity, hard work & dedication. Since 1999, we have always been driven by fashion - without any reason to look back until Covid, which had changed our entire business landscape, restricting travel & shifting our focus to a hybrid B2B & B2C model. This forced some pretty drastic changes in our business model, but we quickly pivoted in 4 ways:

01

Timepiece manufacturing

We continue to do this and it is one of our core competencies. We still serve the loyal customers whose trust we have garnered over the years, and continue to maintain the same relationships with our supply chain, distributors & mass retailers. We have produced watches for the likes of Aeropostale, Aldo, American Eagle, ASOS, Beverly Hills Polo Club, Cato, Elgin, Forever 21, Fossil Group, & more.

02

Sourcing & Sales

We have expanded our services to delve deeper into Fashion Accessories, and have developed 3 new categories of heightened interest: Lifestyle & Tech Accessories, Wellness, & Home Innovation. We are careful not to over-dilute our product offering by hoping to create & curate products that have a symbiotic relationship with each another.

03

Private Label

Taking our business acumen of working with factories in the Greater China & Asian Subcontinent, we are able to mirror our design & manufacturing capabilities from our timepiece business into the categories you see on our store. All private label products are produced with strict confidentiality and restricted from our Retail channels unless a brand owner wishes to collaborate with us on sales efforts. Please hover over to our collaboration model in the link below (coming soon) to know more.

04

Direct to Consumer

We have added a Retail component by selling online & endeavor to build up on an omni-channel social media presence, fueled by great products and collaborations. With a unique blend of 240 SKUs and over 3000 variants, our relationships with factories and brand owners alike have made all this possible.

Do not write on the manufacturer’s packaging, tape it closed, or use it as a shipping box. Apparel returns will not be accepted unless both the apparel and packaging are undamaged. Electronics may only be returned if they are still sealed in their original packaging.

To send an item back to us, please enclose the UnitedTrends.net invoice which came with your package. You may use any shipper you like, but we recommend using carriers who provide tracking and insurance, as UnitedTrends.net cannot be responsible for lost return shipments.
