Founded by Marc Ecko in 1993, Ecko Unltd. emerged from a small t-shirt business in a New Jersey garage to become a defining brand of 2000s urban fashion. Initially inspired by graffiti art, Ecko began with a handful of spray-painted t-shirts that quickly found a following within hip-hop and skate cultures, aided by early endorsements from figures like Spike Lee and Chuck D. The brand’s signature rhinoceros logo came to symbolize a bold, untamed spirit, resonating with a generation of artists and outsiders. At its zenith, Ecko Unltd. was a global phenomenon, expanding its offerings to include hoodies, denim, and accessories, and launching a complementary women's line, Ecko Red.
