Our Eco-Friendly Mission

what we are about

How's it going?

Liam here from OSA, Welcome to Over Seas Apparel, we are an independent Cardiff based Clothing brand with a few differences. A Clothing store that aims to educate and motivate. An eco-friendly brand that offers something for all the family. From designing and printing everything ourselves at the OSA HQ to Events held in our Official store in 34 Royal Arcade and The gulls FC, we like to enjoy every little bit of our brand. 

We've popped some info on different areas of our brand just below if you are interested in finding out a little more.

what's the plan

The plan is and always will be to give you all great quality, eco-friendly and stylish clothes at affordable prices and to always have a laugh. We want to give you all something that no one else can offer. A personal service and a family and movement to join. Our Official Independent Clothing store is located in 34 Royal Arcade, Cardiff, pop in for a chill and a chat.


Looking forward to seeing you all soon.

A Passion for Fashion

We love what we do and love meeting new people everyday. Our aim is to use our passion for our brand to build a community for you all to feel part of.

WE THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT 

OUR SHOP

OSA - 34 Royal Arcade, Cardiff

The beating heart of OSA is of course our one and only shop based in the Royal Arcade in Cardiff, UK.

it is of course only recently become our new home but it already feels like our forever home. here you will see all of our products on display to pick and choose from. equipped with fitting rooms you can make sure the fit is just right for you. it is also the host of our event nights where the shop is transformed into "The Hooded Dolphin" which is every few weeks. here you will find a great crowd where everyone is invited to have a drink, some food and laugh all supported by live music either from a band or DJ. these are not to be missed!


as you enter the shop you are then met with a shop that is much more refined that our previous. a bright grey marble floor sat underneath seamless timber units with hidden drawers around the edge of the shop walls beholding all of the items of clothing on simple, shiny scaffolding rails. the purpose here is to give a constant flow of garments to choose from as your eyes gaze around the store but maintain a un-busy, minimal and attractive look which not only displays way more items than you think but puts a lot of items on show while maintaining a wide open floor space. this ties in with a centre table displaying some key osa items in the middle to divide and revolve the room.

on the right of the downstairs you will also see a bookshelf that was created to enhance the chimney breast we were blessed with. we decided to put our book shelf here as it makes it feel like the continuity of the space flows and makes the most of the space. as this then flows to a knee height bench showcasing all the LuckyFoot Leather products and then ends with the till in the back right. mainly to keep us out of the way of you guys so we don't disturb you browsing. but the constant timber throughout the shop floor makes everything feel smoother and cleaner, everything sits in a natural and spacious position.


as you head upstairs you're met with a stealthy black staircase. this is to follow the colour scheme of the store by matching the exterior black & white. it also is bold enough to direct the attention to peoples eyes that there is an upstairs, rather it being lost in white stairs. the same shop design is then carried upstairs with a fitting room in one corner. we decided against a centre table upstairs as we felt this would crowd the room too much, so have used the corners of all the units to present products.

at a closer look you will notice all the units are fitted with handmade drawers to store our stock, industrial scaffolding holds all the items so must be ridged and long enough to do so. the walls have nothing on them bar the 8 surfboards riding the walls on the high-rise ceiling to create an atmosphere of what we're about in the 'void'. there are a few plants around the shop floor but other than that the minimal, entirely refined and hand crafted OSA shop is staying this way. everything that was learnt from the last shop has all the best bits here. it may look different but you have to agree, it looks better. come and say hello and have a look for yourself! we can't wait to see you.


EVENTS

OUR EVENTS

every month ish we host an evening event in the shop! this is something we used to to do in the old shop until things got busier, we held off until our move to the new shop was done and started with a massive opening event where everyone could come and party and see the new shop on it's first day!

how they work

we just wanna have fun! basically the event cost £10, but you are then entitled to free food and drink all night, yes that includes alcohol! and of course the shop then transforms as we have disco lights, a band or a dj and a dance! with lots of hot food on offer we make sure everyone is cared and catered for. they're really just a fun night to socialise, meet new people and really enjoy yourself surrounded by likeminded people. anyone is welcome and of course bring your friends and family! the best way to hear about upcoming events is via our instagram where you'll get all the latest news at OSA.

ones we've done before

as mentioned we started with our opening event where we had guest dj Seth Booth and resident dj, Henry Fawcett. we had some snacks and hot food, lots to drink and a massive party as we opened the new osa store. we then had a christmas event where we had Beano Naboo and the Real Keepers, a band do a live set in the store and much more food and drink of course! but yes thats how they go! whether it be a calendar event, a throwback school disco or a chance for artists to show themselves, we've got it all! so come along, and if your a music artist or dj wanting to put on a show, get in touch, thats what it's about! 

collections and collabs

some extra reading if you feel like it...

as you know, we aim to educate and motivate as a brand so we try and do what we can with what we put out to achieve just that. all of our products are screen printed and designed by ourselves which means that we have more control about the type of message we wanna send across. we have worked with different people and companies along the way such as: Project Seagrass, Cardiff Dogs Home, Lucky Foot Leather, The Rescue Hotel and many more. 


keep browsing this page if you feel like learning more about some of our collections and why we've done them. we've also branched out into collaborations with other independent businesses because we gotta support one another and spread the good content to more and more of you lot.
