The philosophy of olsenHaus is anchored in universal truth, respect for all beings, with a dedication to the expression of truth in the material world.
olsenHaus are committed to being 100% animal-free/cruelty-free, producing functional goods with a high standard of ethical social responsibility in animal rights, human rights and the environment.
Products are made of non-animal materials, in sample rooms and factories that are personally checked by designer, Elizabeth Olsen, for ethical practises and environmental impact.
Elizabeth Olsen has been Creative Director at Tommy Hilfiger and designed for Calvin Klein, Bulga, Nine West and many others. She has been a vegetarian, and now vegan, for the past 21 years.
Elizabeth is extremely passionate about what she does and says, “It is unacceptable that any life is treated as an economic unit. It is unacceptable that the public are being lied to. Nutritional guide lines which are endorsed by the USDA, and taught to us as children, are written by members of the meat and dairy industry who reap a profit from increased consumer support.”
While many shoes kill, pollute and destroy lives and ecosystems on their journey to your feet, olsenHaus recognize these destructive production practises and do not consider them “business as usual”.
olsenHaus encourage accountability and welcome feedback.
It is all about style, truth and the shift in consciousness to a new luxury.
