Our history
Origins: A Uruguayan Vision
SUB LIBERI was founded in 2022 by two brothers, young designers from Montevideo, Uruguay. The brothers, a self-taught fashion enthusiast with a background in digital marketing, dreamed of creating a brand that could break into the international fashion scene from her small South American country. Inspired by the elegance of European fashion houses and the desire to bring a fresh perspective from Uruguay, the brothers set out to create SUB LIBERI—Latin for "Under Freedom".
Growing up in a modest family, the brothers saw clothing as a means of self-expression and empowerment. She believed that fashion should be accessible, versatile, and timeless. SUB LIBERI was born from her passion for minimalist design, her appreciation for quality craftsmanship, and her belief that Uruguay could be a hub for innovative, stylish, and sustainable fashion.
The Philosophy: Freedom in Every Piece
SUB LIBERI’s philosophy centers on the idea of personal freedom through simplicity. The brand champions the notion that fashion doesn’t need to be loud or complex to make a statement. Instead, true style lies in clean lines, subtle details, and the confidence that comes from wearing something made with intention.
The brand emphasizes high-quality, sustainable fabrics and classic silhouettes designed to transcend seasons and trends. SUB LIBERI’s collections are built on a foundation of neutral tones—white, black, gray, and beige—allowing each piece to be mixed and matched effortlessly. Every item, from sleek shirts to comfortable loungewear, is created to offer a sense of understated luxury.
The First Collection: Embracing Minimalism
SUB LIBERI’s debut collection, "Essentials of Freedom", launched exclusively online and immediately resonated with a growing audience of fashion-forward individuals in Uruguay and beyond. The collection featured minimalist staples: tailored blazers, crisp white shirts, refined denim, and a line of simple yet elegant underwear and loungewear. Each piece was designed to be versatile, timeless, and suitable for any occasion.
The launch was a success, fueled by an innovative digital marketing campaign that combined influencer partnerships, captivating visuals, and a strong social media presence. The brothers strategy of connecting directly with customers through Instagram and TikTok allowed SUB LIBERI to build a loyal following quickly.
