Oliver Cabell careers

Every idea starts with a problem. Ours came in 2015 as graduate students visiting a factory in Asia.

At this factory we saw cramped female workers, earning $7 a day, gluing and sewing designer bags and accessories. One of the bags, which the brand claimed to produce only in Italy, cost under $100 to make. It sold for over $1,200 just down the road.

It turns out a handful of companies control over 75% of the high-end fashion industry, allowing them to keep prices artificially high while taking huge profits from consumers.

We knew there had to be a better way, and started Oliver Cabell with the lofty goal of creating an honest alternative. By being online only, partnering directly with our factories, and bypassing traditional markups, we’re able to provide higher quality goods at a fraction of the price.

We also believe that everyone deserves to know the story behind the goods they buy so we reveal it all, including the cost to make.
