About OBS
Since 2019, OBS has redefined artisanship, prioritizing highest quality materials and unique design concepts tailored to each item, resulting in unparalleled excellence. Each OBS product's shape reflects its construction principle, emphasizing longevity and minimizing material waste, notably seen in raw edges and visible seams of their leather bags, showcasing meticulous attention to detail. The OBS portfolio extends beyond bags to include small leather goods, jewelry, and clothing, all crafted with a commitment to environmental sustainability, utilizing leftover and dead stock materials and maintaining close partnerships with production partners to minimize transport distances.
OBS AW25
Founded by brothers Johannes and Matthias Schweizer, the Bavarian brand OBS draws inspiration from formative experiences alongside the founders’ father on construction sites. Instilled with a profound understanding of craftsmanship, the designers approach textiles and accessories through an essentialist lens: every item serves a purpose and unlocks creative potential. For their Berlin Fashion Week debut, OBS transforms the historic St. Elisabeth Church into an immersive performance space. The showcase highlights various stages of the construction process, from planning to welding. Defined by clean lines, intentionally placed elements, and coordinated details, OBS’s designs reinterpret workwear. Although highly utilitarian, the looks do not lack sophistication, with each silhouette blending functionality and refined form. The textiles are primarily made from organic and durable materials, with leather forming an integral part of the brand’s ethos. The striking colors that define OBS’s work are derived from the construction and craftsmanship sector, rejecting seasonal trends. Purist suits, skirts, and overalls are paired with helmets, belts, and the brand’s signature leather goods in signal colors. Known for their functional bag designs, OBS introduces new shapes that carry utensils, pens, and drawings, inviting everyone to view their essentials as powerful tools for everyday life.
