About Us
A little bit about us
Hi there & welcome! 👋🏼 We are ottie & olsen, a small business offering baby & children’s accessories, blankets, clothing & nursery decor for ages 0-6 years.
The business is ran by myself Kate - Mama of one to our gorgeous little man Olsen Cruz age 3, and Wife to my childhood sweetheart Mark. We live with our 2 cats Lily & Theo 🐱🐱 We're a huge lover of the Greek islands and we married on the beautiful island of Santorini in July 2018.
Here we are, looking all fresh-faced before kids 🥹
Why did we set up the business?
I have always longed to have my own business, but growing up, I just never knew what in, or what I was good at. I have always loved buying clothes 🛍️ and absolutely love nothing more than a good shopping trip! When I was pregnant I became obsessed with purchasing anything and everything baby 👶🏼 I noticed there wasn't much choice available for baby boys. This got me mulling over whether this could one day be something I could offer...and here I am in my Mom era!
Our reason why
Every brand has a story, and this is ours. Olsen was born in November 2020 - the middle of the global pandemic, and sadly we lost my Grandad just 2 weeks before he entered the world 😔 It made me realise that life is what you make of it, and I made a promise to myself that I would just go for it and launch. In 2023 and 2024, we had 2 missed miscarriages. Throughout this devastating time, the business and the instagram community we have built has been my rock, which is why I choose to share our personal journey to raise awareness and provide support to others who might just be needing it too. Everything you see from the logo, to the website, to our brand colours and marketing, has all been designed by me (not quite sure how I did it - but I did!) - which makes it all the more meaningful. I absolutely love it, and I think our customers do too! ☁️
Why are we different?
Our offering is unique. We offer a bit of everything (neutral and brights!) for all occasions (Christmas, Birthday, etc) , in the cutest designs 🧸 which can't be found on the high street, and we include the most gorgeous packaging with a wax melt for the grown ups (excl. sale). Our dream is to one day design our own range. We are our own brand. And with the cost of living rising for all, our prices are reasonable too!
Our promise to you
We promise to always be honest with our customers. If your package is delayed, we will let you know. Have a query? We will respond. You deserve nothing less - after all, you're the ones who help us to stay a float! 🙏🏼
Thanks for making it this far, and happy shopping! We're SO excited to take you with us 🚀
Kate, Mark & Olsen 🤍
