Tiny Biography
Obi clothing emerged in 2015 from the need the founders felt as consumers to have access to quality clothing, with good materials, careful finishes, comfortable, different and durable over time. The timelessness of the pieces Obi creates is a permanent concern, especially in an age of mass production, of “buying it and throwing it away”, in total disregard for the environment, fair remuneration and valuing work. The brand produces conscientiously, using leftover production, making use of quality materials forgotten in warehouses, manually cutting to avoid waste. The selected materials are durable and easy to maintain, at the same time utilitarian and beautiful, easy to pack, transport and use. Obi's garments and accessories are designed, developed and manufactured locally, valuing and supporting the artisans in their community and the “know how” and the quality of national production. Also contributing to the reduction of carbon emissions resulting from offshoring production.
