About UKONIC

Our History:

In 2003, my business-partners and I started manufacturing licensed gifts in the UK and eventually found a lot of traction in robes and lounge-ware. Thus, RobeFactory.com was founded! Working with retail partners like ThinkGeek, Hot Topic, Box Lunch and Spencer’s, we learned quickly that coupling our passion for product with a true sense of collaboration, transparency, and mutual benefit resulted in higher-quality merchandise, happy customers, and returned business.


Our Ethos:

We've developed an ethos:
Support one another, make the world around us better, and bring passion and creativity to everything we do.

We learned that our most successful product started by focusing more on the dreams and ambitions of the consumer. The wild idea that nobody else would consider. No longer interested in simply making merchandise to tick a checkbox in an accountant's spreadsheet, we decided to make the exciting products that the fans were asking for. Investing our time and listening to the fans who spend their hard earnt money on their favourite brand products, we establish that personal connection, and we hope we have managed to make Fans asks and dreams into reality.

Over the next 10 years our success spread to other product categories such as; Lifestyle & Home Décor, Lighting, Fridges, Cooling Fans, Tabletop & Kitchen Gadgets, Rugs, Storage and Beauty & Wellness. Making us realize that "Robefactory" didn't adequately describe what we now offered, we rebranded in 2012 to…


Our Identity:



  • Ukonic is first and foremost about U, the consumer. Your excitement about your favourite fandom is the beginning and end of everything we do.
  • The highlighted UK represents our roots in the United Kingdom.
  • We want to be Iconic, recognizable, and ubiquitous in our field.

That's who we are. That's how we MAKE IT REAL.
