Hi everyone!
We’ve been closely following various threads this past year to better understand your experiences when it comes to shopping. The Fedora Lounge is a wonderful community, and your discussions have guided us through our journey developing Oliver Cabell. For that we would like to say thank you. After months of closely examining natural fabrics and leathers, reviewing hundreds of product designs, and visiting our favorite factories we are really excited to only be a couple of months away from launching Oliver Cabell.
Every idea starts with a problem. Ours came in 2014 as graduate students visiting a factory in Asia. We saw cramped workers, earning $6/day, gluing and sewing luxury duffle bags and backpacks. One of the bags, which the brand claimed to produce in Italy, cost under $100 to make. This bag sold for over $1,200 just down the road.
It turns out the high-end fashion industry is dominated by a few public companies that keep prices artificially high while reaping huge profits from customers.
We knew there had to be a better way, and started Oliver Cabell with the lofty goal of creating an honest alternative. We believe customers deserve to know everything about their products, including how much they cost to make.
By being online only, designing in-house, and engaging with customers directly, we're able to provide higher quality products at a fraction of the current price.
We have just put up our pre-launch site for friends and family, and invite all of you to join and earn early access. Our full site will be up in just a couple months!
Thank you so much for all of your help and support. We can’t tell you how much we appreciate it. Look forward to continuing to share our new brand with you.
