At 128 Coterie, our brand is built on the idea that a "Coterie" - a group of like-minded individuals who share a passion or interest - can come together to create something truly special.
We understand that fashion is more than just clothes; it's an expression of who we are and what we believe in. That's why we strive to create unique, high-quality pieces that not only look good but also inspire and empower our customers to express their individuality.
At 128 Coterie, we are more than just a clothing brand; We are a community.

Our team is made up of passionate and talented individuals who share a love for fashion and a commitment to creating a brand that represents something more than just clothes.
We're constantly pushing ourselves to innovate and create new designs that reflect our values of inclusivity, creativity, and community. So whether you're a seasoned streetwear enthusiast or just starting to explore the world of fashion, we invite you to join the 128 Coterie community and be a part of something special.
Brae Inzar, Founder & Creative Executive
Meet the Founder
As the Founder and Creative Executive of 128 Coterie, I’ve always been driven by a deep-rooted passion for fashion. From sketching designs and customizing clothes as a teenager, to creating one-of-a-kind pieces for friends in high school, my love for this craft has shaped the vision behind the brand. The concept of 128 Coterie began in 2021 with my first release of shirts, and by 2023, I was ready to fully bring the brand to life, assembling a team that shares my vision of fashion as an expression of individuality.
Growing up between Maryland and New Jersey, my inspiration came from the vibrant energy of city streets and the carefully curated displays of boutique shops. That feeling of wearing something truly unique, knowing it turned heads and sparked admiration, has always stayed with me. It's the same feeling I want everyone to experience when they wear a piece from 128 Coterie—confidence, individuality, and the joy of standing out.
128 Coterie represents more than just fashion; it’s a community of like-minded individuals who share a passion for creativity and self-expression. My goal is to help people feel empowered in their style, knowing that every garment they wear is a reflection of their unique identity. Inspired by my mother, a seamstress with an unparalleled wardrobe, and my lifelong dream of running a fashion brand, I’m excited to bring this vision to the world through 128 Coterie
