About NLGX

NLGX Design is a Heritage-Inspired Urban Lifestyle Products Design Company based in Beijing.

We create original-designed apparel including graphic t-shirts, Asian-inspired casuals, and fashion bags made from recycled materials.

We also support the local design community through collaborations and promotions at our flagship store in Beijing’s historical neighborhood of Nanluoguxiang.

Through design and through partnerships with local artists, NLGX represents the lifestyle and spirit of the “new” Beijing.

Our slogan is “Preserve…Create”, which highlights our goal of Preserving the Past while Creating New. NLGX creates original designs inspired by graphics, materials, and colors of traditional Beijing.

NLGX was founded by Ed and Michel – two entrepreneurs who have lived in Beijing in the tumultuous years leading up to the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Witnessing first-hand the changes of China’s ancient capital city, the three friends and co-founders decided to capture the new spirit of the city and their experiences as overseas Chinese living in Beijing with a fresh, lifestyle brand that is unique to the time and to the place in China’s development.

The two co-founders were born in the USA and Germany, respectively, but share a common ground that has grown into NLGX.

NLGX原创生活是受传统文化影响的现代生活时尚产品设计公司。

我们的总部在北京。我们的原创设计包括T恤,亚洲元素的休闲服饰,和用回收材料制作的时尚背包。

我们的口号是:”保护…创造”,体现了我们的目标是:保护历史,创造新意。

NLGX提供所有自创设计产品,还有中国其他独立设计师设计的产品。

NLGX原创设计产品有:T恤,包袋,纽扣徽章和咖啡马克杯。我们的设计展现了北京的变化,是对传统中国标志和色彩的现代诠释。

以赞赏的风格诠释新北京,NLGX与当地独立设计师合作,
推出鞋,包袋,绒毛玩具,文具以及其他产品。

N-L-G-X 是北京时尚胡同区南锣鼓巷的拼音字母首字母缩写。NLGX成立于南锣鼓巷,我们旗舰店的所在地。

Ed, Michel 两位居住在北京的创业者在经历了奥运之前那段喧嚣激动的岁月之后创立了NLGX品牌。亲眼目睹中国这座古老首都的变迁,两个好朋友兼合伙人决定创立一个全新的,代表一种生活方式的品牌,体现特定于这一时期的中国的发展,捕捉这座城市的新风貌,以及他们作为海外华侨居住在北京的体验。
