I’ve been proud to support Unkles as a day-one investor (2 years in development and stealth)
Earlier this week in Manhattan, the co-founders of Unkles shared their vision for redefining how the world engages with high-end goods — not just as products, but as experiences, provenance, and culture.
Together, they bring elite experience in the world of fashion and luxury. Nicolas has extensive multi-decade experience in the luxury products industry including his time as a leading executive at David Yurman. Emily is a leading fashion model (Wilhelmina) who has walked the major fashion shows of the world, including opening Gucci S/S 18 Show.
What stands out with Unkles isn’t just the aesthetic — it’s the strategic clarity behind the platform: disciplined brand thinking, strong creative leadership, and a long-term view of value creation.
In a market where attention is fleeting, building something enduring requires conviction. This team has it.
