Often when thinking of the fashion industry, images come to mind of large-scale mass production that compromises social welfare, human rights, the environment, and in turn, the end product.

For us at Ovae this picture couldn’t be further from the truth. We are a small, family run Australian business that creates unique and stylish accessories that last a lifetime.

And while not all big businesses are soulless corporations, because we are small we are able to offer our customers a buying experience and product that they won’t find on the high street.

Here are five reasons to choose us.

In our last post, we made your Christmas preparations easy with our Ultimate Gift Buying Guide.

But how will you cope on the day? Here is our slightly-tongue-in-cheek Christmas survival guide.  

Tip 1: Christmas can be a teaching opportunity

There is nothing like watching little Noah tear open his new remote-control car to realise… Santa forgot to buy AA batteries!

Turn this into a ‘Christmas lesson’. Remind little Noah that some children in the world don’t even have remote-control cars to put their batteries in, or that back in your day you had to use your arms to push said vehicle. He will stop whining immediately to appreciate your wisdom.

It’s less than a month until Christmas and the festive joy/excitement/panic is setting in. We are here to help you write that Christmas list, stuff those stockings, and close out the year in style.

You couldn’t be blamed these days for feeling like there isn’t much to smile about. I mean, house prices, the same sex marriage debate, climate change, oh yeah, and WWIII seems imminent… But we think the world needs a little more joy right now, so we want to convince you to smile, smile, smile! Here are a few reasons why:

Winter has come…

And you know what that means… pulling out the slow cooker, complaining about the dark, and worrying about White Walkers... Well, yes… But it also means…. Wearing black.

Ovae's Guiding Principles

April 24-30^th is Fashion Revolution Week. Fashion Revolution Week is a global movement that calls for greater transparency, sustainability and ethics in the fashion industry. The movement encourages millions of people to ask brands ‘who made my clothes?’ and demand greater transparency in the fashion supply chain.

We thought that this week is the optimal time to launch Ovae's ‘Ethical Mission Statement’ and ‘Guiding Principles’.
