      There’s a lack of urban technical clothing. While most cutting-edge clothing companies focus on the outdoors, we start in the city. Urban landscapes can be extremely dynamic, and being geared up with clothing that fits the bill in performance and design can make a world of difference from the office to traveling, and everything in between. At Graphene-X we engineer trailblazing clothing by innovating with graphene-integrated fabrics and avant-garde design. Graphene is the strongest, thinnest and toughest material yet discovered and since 2019 it’s empowering our urban-technical / outdoors ready clothing.
