ABOUT OTAAT


Otaat adds subtle whimsy to your everyday. One thing at a time.

Working in small batches, with room to play and refine, Otaat is a family of bags, accessories, objects, and party goods that come from two simple questions: What if? Why not? I try things one thing at a time (sometimes), following long-lived and impromptu curiosities. 

Otaat began as my weeknight excursion from architecture. I’ve been able to work with the same local, Los Angeles crafters since launching Otaat in 2010. We collaborate closely to expand beyond what we initially thought possible.

With every piece, I want you to feel casual grace and quiet confidence. Whether it’s from a bright color pop you unveil after dinner, a puffy pillow-ish pouch to nap on at work, an extra-long tote that takes two to carry, a crocheted plate at your entryway, a party on your head, or just knowing that you have something special. 

Thanks for going on the journey together,
Albert
