Osklen, Brazil

A regional pioneer in responsible design: for over two decades, Osklen has made sustainability its core principle, long before it was even a topic of discussion in Latin American fashion. The brand researches and uses organic and recycled cotton, biodegradable polyamide, hemp, jute, and recycled PET to minimize its environmental impact. It repurposes arapaima skin (from an Amazonian fish used for food) to produce eco-friendly canvas. The result: durable pieces with an urban aesthetic.
