Olistic The Label
Founded in 2019, Olistic The Label was born out of a desire to create fashion that is both durable and elegant. Their collections are versatile and distinguish themselves with timeless, seasonless beauty.
Olistic offers a new sustainable definition of the feminine wardrobe, combining minimalist silhouettes with a contemporary bohemian touch. Light and airy, muslin tops, skirts and dresses caress the skin with sensuality while the palette of ecru to taupe shades recalls the organic roots of their collections. The fluid and wide cuts promote comfort and freedom of movement without compromising elegance.
Inspired by the adjective “holistic” Olistic the Label suggests a totality, a life cycle where the human being lives in harmony with his environment.
Fabrics
Olistic’s collections are made of 100% natural and biodegradable fibers that are GOTS-certified (Global Organic Textile Standard). This independent label is a promise of organic fashion that controls all stages of their production to guarantee the low environmental impact of their brand.
Natural fibers do not generate any toxic substances for our health and that of our planet. When a synthetic fabric is washed, thousands of microplastics are discharged into waste water. These particles are later ingested by marine species and human populations.
Choosing natural organic fibers means promoting a garment that is more respectful of the Earth at every stage of its lifecycle: from its production and washing to its destruction.
Olistic use a range of natural and innovative fibres such as Peace Silk, Lyocell (wood fibres), Virgin Wool, Geelong Merino Wool as well as Upcycled Leather and other deadstock fabrics from the luxury industry.
Production
Olistic The Label is a French brand that supports innovative and sustainable European manufacturing by producing its collections in Northern Portugal. Their clothes are carefully crafted in a sewing atelier ensuring high-end finishes as well as perfect quality.
“Olistic envisages a slow fashion through an ethical manufacturing process where every step is closely controlled. We value the work of Men and wish to break with the frantic pace of the fashion industry. Olistic offers its craftswomen more time and freedom to create each garment. Due to the organic nature of the fabric and the handmade confection of our collections, each of our pieces is truly unique.”
How to Style For Different Occasions -
Summer Lunching –
Being a prerequisite to a well-lived summer, we wanted to share our favourite Olistic pieces to wear to summers day lunch. Inspired by she she retreats Deia, Mallorca getaways, our easy, timeless picks for a relaxing lunch in the sun are the Misogo Kimono Dress and the Pluma Dress in White. Both pieces are ethically made using 100% certified GOTS organic cotton.
A Date Night –
Inspired by the beautiful and oh-so romantic Villa Lena, are some very special Olistic pieces made with their signature Peace Silk. The Phos Blouse is made from natural Silk Organza and the Caelum Green Anise Skirt is made from 100% natural & GOTS certified organic Ahimsa or ‘Peace’ Silk, a silk extracted through non-violent methods to avoid harming silkworms in the process.
En Provence –
The epitome of a truly blissful summer, is a summer en Provence. The Momo Dress and the Kiwa Dress both reflect the versatility of their inspiration Hôtel Weekend who are a conscious travel collective highlighting some of the most aesthetic eco hotels in any place you could dream of, including Provence of course. The Momo Dress is made using 100% GOTS certified organic linen while the Kiwa Dress is made using a combination of organic cotton poplin and linen.
A Special Event –
Any summer event calls for a statement, coordinating set. We love the idea of attending an evening event at Potato Head, Bali wearing Olistics Ikebana range, feeling our best selves and ready to party! The Papillo Top Ikebana with the Ikenobo Trousers is the combination we’ve dreamed of. Alternatively, Olistic The Labels collection of Ikebana Dresses make the perfect statement pieces!
