Oizter was created after our founder saw this image and realized that something absolutely must be done about it.
Here at Oizter where we believe in the power of genuine craft. It is only after we realize how amazing artists are and how lucky we are as humans to have them, that we will be able to save our earth. We know that people love owning things, we love to express ourselves, it is in our nature. But our consumer habits have become unethical. We don't think it's reasonable to ask you to stop owning things, but we can hope and dream that you'll own only good things.
Our mission is to revolutionize the marketplace for boutique products by partnering with aspiring artists and designers, ensuring their creations are recognized and protected and valued above mass produced garbage. We are committed to fostering a community where authenticity thrives, and exceptional craftsmanship is celebrated.
1. Invalidate Drop Shippers: We are dedicated to creating a safe space for artists by eliminating the presence of drop shippers who profit off generic, mass-produced items. Our platform ensures that every product sold with one of our certificates is a true original, crafted with passion and creativity. We do this by vetting all the vendors that partner with us and conducting the right due diligence. Not everyone gets to partner up with Oizter, but the real ones always do.
2. Discourage Dupes and Fakes: We understand the value of originality and the hard work that goes into each unique piece. Having a centralized system for certificates of authenticity guarantees that the products you purchase are authentic, preserving the integrity of our artists' work and discouraging counterfeiters. If you buy a second hand product that you believe comes from one of our partnered vendors, always ask for the Oizter certificate to make sure that it is original!
3. Encourage Value-Driven Purchases: In a world dominated by fast fashion and disposable goods, we encourage our customers to invest in products that hold true value. Our curated collection of boutique items reflects the dedication and artistry of our creators, offering pieces that are not only beautiful but meaningful.
Our selection and plan process at Oizter supports all artists, and we make sure to put exceptional effort in supporting smaller artists.
