Sustainability

Our approach to responsibility is simple: make fewer, better things, and make them to last for years.

Pieces designed to last

Otegas does not follow fleeting trends. We design timeless shapes in colors that are easy to wear, so that a pair of shoes or a shirt is worn often and kept. The most responsible piece is the one you do not need to replace.

A small workshop

Every piece is handmade in Vietnam in a small workshop. Working at this scale lets us follow how each piece is made.

Leather from certified tanneries

Our shoes and leather goods are made in Italian leather sourced from certified tanneries.

Packaging without plastic

Every order is sent in Otegas packaging made without plastic.

Care and repair

Looking after a piece extends its life. Our Care Guide covers leather, suede, shirts, knitwear and socks. Leather shoes can be resoled by a good cobbler when soles and heels wear down.

Where we stand

We are a young house and we would rather say what we do than promise what we cannot prove. As Otegas grows, we will add to this page.
