OUBAS began in 2012 and was founded by owner Kate Stalker.

We care deeply about the pieces we make, the people who make them, and the quality and longevity of our items and fibres within them.

We are inspired by a desire for quality, and are against excess. Our pieces are carefully made with integrity; we choose to work with skilled producers in Britain, with natural materials sourced from leading woollen mills and spinners.

Oubas pieces start life in our Cumbrian workshop, where we use traditional hand-flat knitting machines to design and sample. Some items are made by us here, and some are produced in small batches by knitwear mills in Scotland and England.

OUBAS is distinctive and we have grown a loyal community over the past few years; we are proud to be part of the British textile manufacturing industry and care very much for the producers, customers and creatives who are connected to us.
