The Urge makes it so easy to browse all your favourite brands in 1 browser screen!!! You no longer need to have 10 tabs open to try find the best deal!

It really takes online shopping to the next level!


Why not just use google?


@bgdkbtv - After spending 5 years in the industry, watching how people shop, Google does not solve the painpoint when you are trying to really hunt down a specific item or style of clothing.

This becomes clear when you look at some of the ways shoppers go about finding the items they are looking for. A great example is the FindFashion or the FemaleFashionAdvice Reddits:

They have over 1m users who are actively looking, discussing or trying to hunt down a piece of clothing.

Google images is currently the next best thing, but this contains a whole load of junk too.

What we are doing at https://theurge.com is curating, on a very broad scale, the best brands and stores from around.

Great product
