Newport Beach-Based O’Collett Fine Cashmere Collection
Newport Beach-based fashion designer Olga Collett grew up in Northern Russia in the days of the Soviet Union where her love and flair for fashion was born. She spent her childhood with her grandmother in her sewing studio and was making clothes for her dolls out of leftover scraps. By the time Olga was in high school she was designing and making her entire wardrobe applying all the skills she learned in her childhood: pattern making, sewing, knitting, embroidering.
Olga is a longtime art lover, collector, and abstract artist so naturally, her cashmere O'Collett Collection is influenced by her background. Each piece is one-of-a-kind and is dictated either by color, textures and/or shapes of materials she has in her studio. Her 100% cashmere collection is unique and handmade. She aims for clean lines, elegance, and comfort to create a piece that will be one of your favorites that you can wear again and again. She approaches each piece as a mini art project.
Olga can also create custom pieces as well as alter the special pieces that you don’t wear anymore into something you can love again.
In the O’Collett Collection, you’ll find price ranges from two-layer cashmere beanies at $70, to $200 ponchos and sweaters and $400 plus dresses. And, for the month of February, the entire O'Collett Collection is reduced 25%. The collection includes purses, dresses, beanies, ponchos, totes, cross body bags, scarf sets, and even golf dresses.
“I love O’Collett dresses the most. Since I started my line I have been wearing dresses almost every time I go out rather than customary pants with a nice top,” Olga said. “It is usually hard to find a beautiful comfortable winter dress that is both flattering and easy to wear and I believe my line solves that problem for women.”
