Every component of an OVNA OVICH piece is carefully considered: from design and materials to production and processes. When a customer wears OVNA OVICH, they are part of an open story that traces the journey from origin to garment.
DESIGN
To ensure a long life cycle of your garment, we favour timeless design that is not bound to seasons but to ideas that focus on high quality materials and construction, versatility in wear and flexibility in fit.
All of our off cuts from the design process are donated to a nonprofit that works with refugee women, teaching them skills and helping them share their stories through quilt making.
Our knitwear uses whole-garment technology which means it is produced in one entire piece, three-dimensionally, with minimal seams to minimise waste.
Conscious of circularity, we prioritise mono materials and minimise the use of trims and embellishment to facilitate recycling.
MATERIALS
With each collection, we exclusively use fibres that are environmentally responsible. This means we opt for materials with a lower carbon footprint and reduced waste and water impact compared to conventional materials.
We work directly with fabric mills to ensure visibility into their practices and environmental claims. We request certifications to validate the integrity of our supply chain and the environmental practices of our partners.
PRODUCTION
Our garment production is kept local and/or ethical to ensure the regulation and respect of workers' health, safety, and labour rights.
Our production is small batch, utilising made-to-order with our wholesale partners as well as a carefully curated online offering. This approach prevents over-supply and minimises unnecessary and wasteful manufacturing.
We understand that transparency is an ongoing journey: supply chains are dynamic, and progress towards a more sustainable way of working is a continuous conversation. At OVNA OVICH, this is our commitment to our customers and to a better world.
