OddBird

Oddbird Co., LLC is a company that prides itself on offering ethically made and ethically priced products. Established in late 2015 by Ceren Alkaç-Lee, a Turkish native now residing in Los Angeles, Oddbird Co. was born from a desire to share the traditional handcrafted textiles of Turkey while creating sustainable alternatives for home and body essentials. The company emerged as a response to the fast-fashion industry's increasing production rates and the resulting environmental impact. In contrast to the trend of brands producing numerous collections per year, Oddbird Co. focuses on small-batch production, emphasizing quality and sustainability. They source 100% natural fibers, handwoven in Turkey, to create multi-functional homewares designed to be long-lasting and versatile. Oddbird Co. works closely with family weavers who have been perfecting their craft for generations. The company's mission extends beyond just selling products; it aims to support artisans in maintaining their traditional crafts and ensuring they thrive in both their professional and personal lives. Oddbird Co. pays its artisans above industry standards, reflecting its commitment to ethical partnerships. The products stand out due to their creation on 100-year-old looms, requiring skilled artisans, as opposed to many brands that rely on machine-made textiles. Oddbird Co.'s offerings are made from natural, often raw or recycled fibers, ensuring not only the longevity of the textile but also its biodegradability. The company's product line includes garments that are mostly handwoven and finished with reinforced seams, designed to improve with use and wear. Each product is thoughtfully designed for multi-functionality, allowing customers to get the most out of a single item. Oddbird Co. has garnered a reputation for being a sustainably-made brand with a major focus on creating products that require a craftsman's touch, guaranteeing a special and unique product. Their approach to fashion is size-inclusive, slow, and focused on quality and longevity, offering consumers a conscious choice in their shopping habits.
