Footwear + apparel manufacturer. Helping startups play big and big brands be more agile without sacrifice.

Our collaborative manufacturing process goes beyond footwear and apparel. We worked with @weareround21 to develop and manufacture their artful ping-pong paddles with their brand aesthetics in mind every step of the way. #madebyotabo 🏓
