Oltramar

Oltra­mar was born out of a desi­re to share an artis­tic, phi­lo­so­phi­cal and poe­tic approach with the world. At the heart of this approach, sus­tainable orga­nic indi­go fib­re is explo­red in all its nuan­ces thanks to exten­si­ve rese­arch into natu­ral materials.

Valen­ti­na is the foun­der of Stu­dio Oltra­mar. An Ita­li­an-Croa­ti­an inte­ri­or desi­gner from the Istria regi­on of Croa­tia. After living, stu­dy­ing and working in dif­fe­rent places in Euro­pe, in 2019 she moved to the south of France and the­re she dis­co­ver­ed the world of natu­ral dyes, and the ances­tral tech­ni­que of indi­go dye­ing that imme­dia­te­ly con­que­r­ed her. After 2 years, thanks to the peo­p­le she met, the app­ren­ti­ce­ship with gre­at dyers from all over France, and the hard work, in Sep­tem­ber 2022 she crea­ted the first coll­ec­tion of Oltra­mar garments.

Oltra­mar garm­ents are dyed with pig­ments from Pro­vence, in the South of France, by Lau­ra and Aman­di­ne from Le Champ des Cou­leurs. The garm­ents are made by Anne and Cora­lie, two fri­ends who deci­ded to crea­te a small arti­san work­shop in Mont­pel­lier cal­led Ate­lier Cats.

At COSH! we love local col­la­bo­ra­ti­ons and clo­se relationships!
