Slow Fashion = Happy designers + Happy Consumers

I am loving that fashion is becoming more immediate - more consumer driven design, less trend projection... Oishii is about responding to real people with real needs in real time.

The dinosaur of traditional fashion retailing is being replaced by an intimacy and immediacy that is really gratifying for designers and the clients they serve!

Check out this article on Style.com to see where we have been and what the future may hold:

Lava 9 + Grove Street Kids

Oishii has found two new homes in the East Bay!

I am so excited to be in two great shops in my town of Berkeley. Do pop in to check out their selections...

Lava 9 is a fantastic accessories boutique on Solano Ave. owned by the famed Heidi Werner. This sister store to the original Lava 9 on Hayes has a wonderfully curated collection of goodies from around the world (including George, Gina and Lucy handbags... of which I own 2...) I was lucky enough to work at Lava 9 for a year before diving headlong into Oishii. Having my pieces there feels a lot like coming home!

Lava 9
1797 Solano Avenue
Berkeley, CA 94704

Grove Street Kids is a lovely shop stocked with well-selected, gently used kidswear and new gifts for babies and young children. The owner - Ann Marie - is a gem and you will certainly find a few treasures when you visit.
