New Brand Alert
Menswear & Womenswear
Óisín (pronounced Ush-een) is a UK clothing brand aiming to provide ethics and sustainability through a creative and minimalistic aesthetic. The brand takes inspiration from a range of design disciplines such as architecture, photography, art and more, with a focus on proportion and geometry. Óisín works on the idea that both ethics and design are essential components for each piece of clothing – balancing both are intrinsic to the final outcome.
They currently have a small selection of unisex simple striped T-shirts which we love.
Ånyo is Swedish for ‘renew’ or ‘again’, and taps into the philosophy of recycling and reusing something old to create something new without harming nature or society. They create unique up-cycled fashion pieces that will make you stand out in the crowd while representing ethical thinking. By reusing textiles and fashion pieces, they want to recreate the story of a garment while contributing to a circular economy closing loops in the lives of fashion objects.
We love their vibrant denim jackets – perfect for summer and festival season.
