Oviesse’s business model is to produce high quality fashion collections at affordable prices and with the aim of constantly renewing looks.

With traditional good Italian tailoring and by collaborating with top designers, they are able to manufacture the latest styles and trends in its clothes, but always with the emphasis on quality and price.  There is a boutique area called Baby Angel which is a range designed by Fiorucci. The garments, shoes and accessories in this collection are very attractive and mostly aimed at the younger set.  Prices range from 20 – 40 Euros for the latest collection.
