About Us
Welcome to Ovelanya, a brand born from a simple yet powerful belief: that style and sustainability should walk hand in hand. Our name, inspired by a vision of a greener future, reflects our commitment to protecting our planet—'Ovelanya' signifies our deep respect for the natural world.
Founded in the heart of Naperville, Illinois, we started as a small team of designers, environmentalists, and dreamers who were frustrated with the fast-fashion industry's impact on the environment. We asked ourselves: can we create beautiful, high-quality footwear and apparel that doesn't cost the Earth?
The answer was a resounding yes. And so, Ovelanya was born.
Our Mission
Our mission is to offer consciously crafted, sustainable footwear and apparel that empowers you to look good and feel good about your choices. We are dedicated to reducing our environmental footprint at every step of our journey, from sourcing to shipping.
Our Values & Sustainability Promise
We are committed to a more ethical and eco-conscious way of doing business. This promise is woven into everything we do:
Conscious Materials: We prioritize using recycled, organic, and sustainably sourced materials. This includes recycled plastics, organic cotton, and natural rubber, reducing waste and conserving resources.
Ethical Production: We partner with manufacturers who share our values, ensuring safe working conditions and fair wages for all their employees. We believe in people and planet over profit.
Quality & Longevity: Fast fashion is the opposite of our ethos. We design timeless pieces built to last, encouraging you to buy less but better.
Transparency: We believe in honesty. We are open about our processes, our partners, and our journey towards becoming a more sustainable company. We know we’re not perfect, but we are committed to constant improvement.
Community: Based in Naperville, we are a part of a local community, but our vision is global. We strive to build a community of conscious consumers who believe in making a difference, one step at a time.
