Fairness and transparency are part of OISAM’s philosophy and especially saying ‚no‘ to exploitation of labor. Fast fashion brands successfully make profits with cheap clothes by making unfair payments to textile factories. Garment workers who work for such factories are given wages that are often not enough to cover the minimum living expenses. With my honest and transparent price calculation of each item below, I hope the hard work and know-how behind each handmade piece will be appreciated.
