We thought it’s about time we officially introduced ourselves and let you all know a little scoop into who we are, what we’ve been up to and how we function day-to-day. We’re sure you’ll already be keeping up to date with us on socials but if you’re interested in how we started and other interesting activities we’ve been doing along the way, such as our charity work, then keep reading below…
You probably already know that Oh Polly is a rapidly growing pureplay fashion brand selling women’s clothing internationally. But did you know that one of the sole reasons for the company existing is to support The Brannerson Foundation, our Cambodia based charity? Stay tuned to find out more about the amazing charity work we do a little later in the post.
We have offices in Glasgow, Liverpool, Los Angeles, Dhaka, and Guangzhou with over 250 employees in the UK, and 1500 directly employed worldwide. Our business model is social-first and centred around industry leading Instagram and Facebook accounts. In 2019, Oh Polly was ranked as the 5th most engaged UK clothing retail social media brand and by July 2021 we had a combined following of over 4.5 million people. This puts us among the fastest growing fashion brands within the UK – wow!
It’s definitely well known worldwide that wearing Oh Polly is sure to get you noticed. We pride ourselves on being the place that everyone turns to when buying something that’s a ‘little bit extra.’
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
SO… WHATS OUR MISSION STATEMENT?
AND OUR UNIQUE SELLING POINT?
THE BRANNERSON FOUNDATION
OUR MANUFACTURING AND PRODUCT PROCESS Our product development and manufacturing process is unique to most. At Oh Polly, we like to be different and always with you in mind, as we love our customers! Our buyers do not purchase wholesale products, which allows us to keep our designs super unique – and of course that little bit extra! All our products are designed in house by a small, incredibly talented design team. All our collections are curated by a small buying team led by our Creative Director. We also pride ourselves on being incredibly involved with the people and production behind every Oh Polly ‘fit. Our founders, Mike Branney and Claire Henderson, set up our two main factories when Oh Polly started. This means we have control over our workers’ safety, the wages they are paid, and the quality of the product at every stage of manufacturing in those factories. WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS If you shop at Oh Polly and you know your stuff then it’s unlikely you need us to remind you of the harmful effects this industry has on our planet. Here at Oh Polly, we’re taking positive steps each and every day to improve the sustainability of the brand.
