OUR STORY
A SPACE FOR PEOPLE AND STORIES
OSAY is a space shaped by people, stories, and the spirit of Mediterranean living.
Our most celebrated pieces happen to be shoes — shaped slowly and intentionally by hand through design partnership and creative collaboration with master artisans.
Yet what we build goes beyond footwear.
CRAFTING TOGETHER
Every piece begins with a relationship.
From the first sketch to the final object, our artisans are part of the creative process. We design together, refine together, and shape each piece slowly by hand.
In an world where ideas are often designed in one place and manufactured in another, we choose a different path — one built on collaboration, accountability, and shared craft.
STORIES WE CARRY
Objects carry stories.
Stories of hands, materials, traditions, and places that travel through every piece we create.
Storytelling lives at the heart of our work. Through our journal and community, we celebrate the artisans we collaborate with, the people who inspire us, and the many lives these objects move through.
Our stories are yours.
FOUNDERS
OSAY was founded by Simone and Kenza.
Childhood friends who grew up in Tunisia and later found themselves again in New York’s fashion world, we shared both a deep admiration for Mediterranean craftsmanship and a frustration with how it was often misunderstood.
What began as a shared conversation gradually became something more: a space to honor craft, celebrate people, and create in partnership with the hands behind the work.
OUR STORIES ARE YOURS
The story continues through the hands that craft, the people who wear, and the conversations that grow around them. It continues through the people we work with, the places we visit, and the lives these objects move through.
We share many of these moments in our JOURNAL.
