About UP

Welcome to Union Proper!

Hi everyone! I am Ashley, the very proud owner and dreamer of Union Proper! 

I have always loved fashion. This love has been fueled by many years of working in retail, studying fashion merchandising in college and my first big girl job as a manager for a large U.S. clothing retailer. For the last 15 years, I have been a Product Development Manager for two very wonderful and completely different companies. Garden seed and paper goods! I know how to grow a tomato (if I can remember to water it) and I’ve been instrumental in creating children’s books. Crazy, right?! 

With 40 just around the corner, I am taking these years of experience and following my dream. Meet Union Proper! 

Union Proper is a collection of classic, transitional and quality clothing that I have thoughtfully curated and defined for her everyday life. Her very busy, chaotic, beautiful, sometimes messy but would not change one thing kind of life. She and I have a lot in common.

I so appreciate you being here and I hope you love all the goodness that is about to come your way!
