Born and raised in Nelson. A small northern town. A town that pioneered the global cotton industry during the Industrial Revolution. Our brand is built on the grit, resilience, and determination that define working class communities. The mills that rose during the 19th century weren’t just factories; they were symbols of innovation, resilience, and the determination of the working class communities that powered them. This spirit of hard work and craftsmanship forms the foundation of who we are.
Growing up, we learned the value of hard work, integrity, and never giving up a mindset that drives everything we do. Each piece of clothing is designed to embody these principles, blending functionality, durability, and style to support your journey, no matter the challenge. We’re proud to represent where we come from, crafting sportswear that stands for perseverance, authenticity, and a commitment to excellence.
We see our connection to this legacy as more than history; it’s a responsibility. Created by sports enthusiasts with everyone in mind. We aim to create clothing that inspires people to push boundaries and redefine what’s possible FORBA isn’t just about sportswear; it’s a tribute to the resilience of the working class spirit and a celebration of our shared heritage. Our vision is bold: to become the biggest sports brand to ever come out of England. We’re not just creating sportswear; we’re building a legacy inspired by where we’re from, proving that with dedication and passion, greatness can rise from humble beginnings.
