Oliver HauserCouture™

"Streetwear with substance."

"01 — Vision"

We want to change one thing: streetwear that is built with real quality, made fairly, and traceable to the last stitch. Clothes that work everywhere — and leave an impression.

— Oliver Hauser, Founder

"02 — Everywhere"

One piece.
Every occasion.

Streetwear should not stop at the street. We design each piece to move between uni, work, night, travel and dinner — with quality that shows.

"UNI"Lectures. Library. Late train.

"03 — The Hauser Standard"

Three promises.
In writing.

This is the standard we commit to publish and be held to. We are pre-production: no partner is chosen yet, so nothing below is a claim about the past — it is the bar every future partner has to clear.

01

Quality

Written before we order. Tested before we sell.

  1. Spec firstFibre, weight (GSM) and finish are written down before a single metre is bought.
  2. Two fit rounds, minimumSamples are worn and corrected on real bodies. Production starts only after round two.
  3. Wash & wear testRepeated washes, seam-pull and colour-fastness checks on the pre-production sample.
  4. Every piece checkedRuns are small enough to inspect each garment. No sampling, no shrug.

Working conditions

People first. The price follows.

"The Partner Code"

  • Fair pay, paid on time
  • Legal, safe working hours
  • We visit before we order
  • Partner is named — publicly
  • Lead times without rush
  • No hidden subcontracting

Not signed = not produced.

Why small runs help. Small, planned runs mean no last-minute rush orders — the main reason factories force overtime. Our volume is a feature, not a limit.

Traceability

Every piece gets a passport.

"04 — How it becomes real"

From promise
to practice.

  1. 01

    Write the standard

    This page. Public, so we can be held to it.

  2. 02

    Shortlist partners

    Only workshops that can sign the Partner Code.

  3. 03

    Visit & sample

    We go there. We see it. Then we order samples.

  4. 04

    First drop, with passports

    Numbered runs. Every piece traceable.

Honest status: pre-production. We will publish each step on the Journey page as it happens.

"05 — Code of Conduct"

Ten rules.
No fine print.

We respect people and the planet. Not as a slogan — as rules we write down, publish and can be held to.

People

Dignity

Every person is treated with respect. No discrimination, no harassment — inside the label and along the supply chain.

People

Fair work

Fair pay, legal hours, safe workplaces. Nothing less. See the Partner Code on our Mission page.

People

Zero tolerance

No child labour. No forced labour. A partner who breaks this is out — immediately.

People

A voice

Anyone can raise a concern. Nobody is punished for speaking up.

Planet

Less, but better

Small, numbered runs. No overproduction. No restocks of sold-out pieces.

Planet

Made to last

We design for years, not seasons — and we will share care and repair advice with every piece.

Planet

Careful materials

We choose lower-impact and certified materials where we can, and say clearly where we cannot yet.

Planet

Light packaging

Minimal packaging. Plastic-free wherever it is practical.

Honesty

No greenwashing

We only publish what we can prove. Progress and shortfalls both go on the record.

Community

Respect here too

On our website and community board: no hate, no harassment, no spam. We moderate.

This is a living document. It states our intentions and commitments as a young label; it is not a certification. We will always tell you what we have achieved and what we have not. Concerns go straight to the founder — see Contact.
