What to know about Olive Clothing
Made in small Korean workshops
Collections run in small batches with boutique, family-run factories in South Korea, using Korean fabrics and yarns rather than large-scale manufacturing.
Many styles come in one size
A lot of pieces are cut in a single loose-fitting size, so the relaxed silhouette, not the sizing chart, determines how a garment sits.
Womenswear-led, menswear is smaller
The Cheltenham family-run label sells mainly womenswear with a narrower men's offer, sold direct through its own site in muted colour and knitwear.
