Universal Works is about mixing ideas; understanding heritage and context underpinned by contemporary needs and aesthetics. The brand produces modern workwear, only working with factories they trust, admire and are proud of to be associated with.
Universal Works was inspired by David Keyte’s formative years growing up in a provincial midlands town in the seventies, part of a working class family that loved to dress wel; seeing his dad and uncles in their work-wear and also when dressing up for the weekend. Most of the designs are based on silhouettes from this era of David's life that he grew to love.
