ABOUT THE BRAND: INES OTT is an independent shoe, apparel and small leather goods brand that specializes in handcrafted products made 100% by Uruguayan artisans. Our collection is inspired by independent, artsy, enthusiastic, and driven women who cherish their style and individuality. As a designer I aspire to promote slow, responsible fashion that prioritizes local handmade production, seeking quality and refinement. I do not concibe an industry that only promotes seasonality and trends. I am intent to continuously fascinate and captivate you every time you feel the leather touch.
ABOUT THE DESIGNER Born in Montevideo, Uruguay in 1984, Inés is fascinated by fashion design from a young age. Later in 2003 her formal studies in design commenced, initially learning craftsmanship techniques for three years until enrolling for her university studies began. During her studies, she became fascinated by leather and got her Bachelor's Degree in Fashion Design with a thesis about leather finishes and women's footwear.
