Our Story

Born from Survival. Built on Strength.

My name is Steve Williams, and in 2001/2002, I came face-to-face with some of the darkest moments of my life. I battled severe mental health challenges and survived multiple suicide attempts. There were days I couldn’t see a way forward—but somehow, I kept going.

Since those years, I’ve rebuilt my life with intention, love, and purpose. I know now how precious life is. I also know how hard it can be to keep going when everything inside you is telling you to give up. That’s why I created Urban Vessel Clothing a design to order company—to raise awareness for suicide prevention and mental health, and to remind people that every step forward, no matter how small, is strength in motion.

Urban Vessel Clothing is more than a brand. It’s a message. A movement. A wearable reminder that you are not alone. 

🖤 What Does “Urban Vessel” Mean?

• Urban represents the noise, pressure, and chaos of modern life—the constant motion that can drown out our inner voice.

• Vessel represents you—a carrier of something valuable. Your emotions. Your experiences. Your resilience. Even your silence holds weight.

Every piece of clothing is designed to order and carries this meaning. It’s for the people still fighting. Still healing. Still here.

At Urban Vessel, survival is not just something to get through—it’s something to be proud of.

We are powered by The Wellbeing Lighthouse Ltd, a broader mental wellness movement I founded to help others find meaning, purpose, and light in the darkest of times. Urban Vessel Clothing is an extension of that mission—offering comfort, connection, and courage you can wear.

So when you wear Urban Vessel, you're not just wearing a garment.
You're wearing a story. A lifeline. A spark of hope.

Thank you for being here.
Stay strong. Stay standing. Stay you.
