How did we begin?

At the heart of our origin story is another story – a simple yet moving tale of a mother who wanted nothing more than to give the very best to her child, without taking any opportunities away from other people involved in the process or causing further injury to the planet.

She wondered, if as parents our top priorities were to provide our children with optimum nutrition and ensure that they always have access to quality healthcare, why cut corners in meeting one of their most essential needs - the need for our kids to stay warm and comfortable.

She knew that the market was flooded with mass produced children’s clothing, made of genetically modified cotton, treated with strong chemicals and toxic dyes. She had good reason to believe that this apparel wasn’t truly fit for her child’s health or the health of children in general.

“Shouldn’t there be clothing for our children that comforts them and is safe for their health? And wouldn’t it be wonderful if making such clothing was easy on Mother Earth as well” she thought to herself. Soon after this little reflection, Ola! Otter began to take shape.

The mother of our tale is Vidhi Gupta, who upon her realization has made it a personal mission to help parents keep their kids healthier and happier, and the environment safer for all through Ola! Otter’s line of future-loving clothing.

But what’s the story behind the name, you ask?

Well, we turned to the animal kingdom for a worthy candidate that could embody all things innocent, playful, joyful, curious and creative, and we found it in the otter. They’re otter-ly amazing creatures who love to sleep while holding hands, cuddling and snuggling just like our babies do, and they’re exceptionally playful - juggling pebbles when they’re bored. We fell head over heels in love with them when we found out that Otter mothers hug their pups to keep them cozy and safe

What is our purpose and vision?

Healthy? Check! Sustainable? Check! Unique? Double Check!!

Ola! Otter believes there’s nothing quite like a child’s inherent ability to be creative and inspiringly playful. Isn’t it amazing that the sight of a frolicking child instantly makes a smile crop up on our faces, no matter how down in the dumps we might be at that moment?

With our unique and fun designs we want to promote the child’s gift of boundless imagination. Compassionate at heart, curious of mind, and always playful, we aim to offer the best care through clothing for the little ones. Our mission is to lead and inspire a sustainable way to be fun, exciting, and creative.

For us, there can’t be a picture more perfect than healthy children playing freely within the warmth of their families. We envision a world where we have collectively moved beyond standard notions of “sustainability” and embrace organic ways of living.
