Patricia on the road.
OSOM BRAND™ is a sustainable brand that embraces the idea that we are all one.
Our products are made using OSOM’s high quality, upcycled yarns from discarded garments, reducing textile waste from going to landfill and the need for virgin fibers. We use zero Water or Dyes in the process of making our yarns.
As designers and creators we focus all our energy in making great products out of the most sustainable yarns and fabrics ever created. We are nature lovers and planet preservers so is our mission to upcycle as much textiles as possible to create OSOM products.
As visionaries we are always on the search for improving our materials and technologies to ensure you get to feel the osomness that feels to be wearing our clothing. Starting with socks OSOM will focus on the simple pieces of your every day life.
We use State-of-the-Art technology and clean solar energy for the upcycling of discarded garments used in our products. No harsh chemicals, dyes or water are used in the manufacturing of OSOM products. Our employees and workers have fair working conditions, something that we make sure to support and encourage along the entire production chain.
By supporting our brand you are contributing to:
1. SAVE WATER: A conventional T-shirt will use 700 gallons and 2.5 ounces of pesticides, we use none, this is not counting the 40 trillion and 12,800,000,000 respectively that takes to grow cotton for virgin threads.
2. NO DYES: More than 200 billion of waste water are dumped into local rivers each year, these chemicals can be found in the food we eat.
3. REDUCE TEXTILE WASTE: Each year Americans throw out nearly 11 million tons of clothing, approximately 70 pounds per American. Not only does this seriously contribute to the growing waste crisis in America. It is a true waste considering nearly 99% of textiles are recyclable..

More than 70% of the materials we use to make our threads and fabrics are coming from upcycling more than 11 million pounds of discarded garments and textiles every year.
Stellar Culture and Products
Designing and creating products that support our culture of a new wave of apparel. It's a revolution that our customers are wearing OSOM products, the impact speaks for itself. We are not saving the planet, actually, our customers are.
Giving Back
As we collect discarded garments from a vast nationwide recollection network, we get to contribute and support foundations and creations of new jobs. But the most important thing for us is giving our planet a break from being exploited by a heavy resource industry.
