OUR MISSION

We mill our own biodegradable and organic materials, ensuring they're earth-friendly and non-toxic. Additionally, we manufacture in our California-based factory, which allows us to produce ethically and sustainably, adhering to the highest standards. By selling exclusively in the U.S., we aim for a real zero-carbon footprint, moving beyond mere corporate claims towards genuine environmental responsibility.

To achieve this lofty aspiration, we adhere to three fundamental principles:

Quality Craftsmanship: Masterpieces of meticulous hand craftsmanship. Each piece not only exemplifies the pinnacle of skilled artistry, proudly tagged “Handmade in the USA,” but also champions local artisans and preserves traditional crafts.

No Greenwashing: With rigorous precision, we monitor our carbon footprint at every juncture—from the engineering of fabrics and the use of natural/organic dyes to the selection of threads, our packaging choices, and logistics/delivery methods, covering all aspects in between.

Hyper-Local Focus: Our commitment to local sourcing and production is unwavering. Fostering local communities and economies is, in our view, the cornerstone of sustainable business operations.

OUR TRIBE

We are a collective of creators, technologists, and pioneers of the most eco-conscious brand, embarking on a mission to craft exceptional items with integrity. Here, we bypass the fanfare of sustainability to focus on the artistry of creating beautiful, locally handcrafted pieces in Los Angeles. Our materials? Only the finest organic and recycled fibers, which we proudly knit and dye by our own hands. Our motivation? A passion for challenging norms and committing to what's right. Choosing OLHUM means prioritizing style and uniqueness first—the ethical and sustainable practices are simply part of the package.

Bound by deep-rooted friendships and a diverse blend of expertise in design, engineering, product innovation, and creative thought, our unity is fueled by a profound respect for each other and the Earth. We operate with a transparent, direct approach, fueled by a sincere desire to invest our skills in a cause that resonates with us.

For more than a decade, we've been at the forefront of design and innovation for globally recognized brands. Yet, we've chosen to diverge from the corporate path. Why? We've seen how superficial politics and insufficient action yield little change. Our ambition is to forge a new path by establishing a brand that stands for more: end-to-end local production, unparalleled sustainability with fully biodegradable materials, and a morally sound manufacturing ethos, all rooted in the USA, without relying on imports.

Our pledge is clear: no shortcuts, no excuses, and no compromises. Just an unwavering commitment to doing what's genuinely right and beautiful.

OUR MANTRA

"The Future is Local" transcends being a mere slogan for us; it embodies the core ethos that steers every decision we undertake. Why does this matter, you might ask? By prioritizing the use of local resources and biodegradable materials in our creation and manufacturing processes, and further, by exclusively marketing our collections within the U.S., we do more than make a statement—we forge ahead towards actualizing a genuine zero-carbon footprint, far removed from superficial corporate assertions.
