O, A and S are the three initials of the founder's name (Oliver Adam Sebastian). The brand was born during his numerous trips to the family summer home in Barcelona. It all started with Oliver continuously supplying his friends with the rare product of espadrilles, which until 2010 couldn’t be found in all of Scandinavia. OAS was founded as a reaction to the Swedish winter, and with a determination to create unique, coveted resort wear that exudes vacation nostalgia.
