Silk Tops

Our Silk Tops

When we launched OSUSO, we wanted to build our brand around a small collection of signature pieces that reflected our values and visual style - and that connected with those who value comfort, originality and elevated craftsmanship. Our printed silk tops are the centrepiece of our line, reflecting our desire to create elegant, stylish and timeless designs.

Wearable, Timeless

At Three Stones Clothing, our last fashion brand, one of our signature products was custom-printed tops with original, non-traditional prints. Using various painting techniques, we created unique and interesting patterns, never too bold or overwhelming – not your typical repeating patterns. The idea was the tops were easy to wear and style and a nice departure from much of the minimalistic designs that have dominated fashion in recent years.

We bring that same philosophy to the new collection, but we’ve elevated the look and feel, now using silk as the primary fabric. Silk is a sustainable, natural material that’s both elegant and luxurious, but at the same time, with our relaxed silhouettes, hangs comfortably on the body. We have created timeless pieces that balance style, wearability, luxury and originality. We think of it as “wearable art,” that adds a unique touch to your personal style in a subtle, understated way.  

Casual Elegance

We have tried to create pieces that will transition nicely between different aspects of life, whether it's the office, casual weekend looks, or a night out. Our silk tops are designed with this in mind, versatile enough to be paired with minimalist pieces (which are still so popular) while providing just the right amount of subtle and interesting detail to enhance your look without feeling like you’re overdoing it.  

The sand-washed silk fabric itself offers a balance of elegance and comfort, making it ideal for individuals who value luxury and style but also want ease in their day-to-day wardrobe choices. We have created clothing that works with your life and personal style with our unique take on elegance, casual luxury and original art.

Quality, Craftsmanship

We embrace the slow fashion movement, and we believe in quality over quantity. By using high-quality fabrics and fine craftsmanship, we have created pieces designed to last, both in timeless style and durability. Our hope is to be your go-to pieces, the ones you reach for time and time again. In a world of fast fashion, we embrace the philosophy of “buy less, buy better.”

Exclusive, Limited

We’re don’t really like the sound of saying we’re an “exclusive” brand suggesting that we’re off-the-chart expensive or difficult to access, but in the truest sense of the word we are in fact an exclusive brand. We have produced just 70 of each style of our printed tops, and when they’re gone, they’re gone -- we won’t produce that design again. We don’t have an ultra-exclusive, “elite” attitude around it. It’s not inaccessible and difficult to find, it’s just that by producing these pieces in limited numbers we hope to appeal to people who value originality and “get” what we’re doing. We understand our designs aren’t for everybody, and that’s OK. We like being a small, niche brand, not chasing trends to appeal to everybody. Our model is small-scale, but our standards, our commitment to quality, craftsmanship and creativity, are high. We’re making the clothes we want to make, and we hope just enough people love what we’re doing so that we can keep making them.

Community

Beyond fashion, we see our designs as providing an opportunity to help others. A portion of all our sales goes toward two great organizations making a positive impact in the community. We’re proud to support the Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre in Vancouver and Ronald McDonald House Charities Canada.

We know there are some who don’t like it when brands publicly align themselves with charitable causes, and that’s OK, but it’s important to us, so we’re doing it. We hope you love our designs and feel good about helping others too. 

We set out to create timeless, elegant and carefully crafted designs for those who value original style, comfort, and elevated craftsmanship. We also wanted to create a model that brings people together to support good causes. For those who value quality of over quantity, compelling over bland, elevated personal style without trying too hard, and all the while joining others to support great causes, we might just be right for you.
