“Oleana was founded in 1992 as a reaction to other textile factories in Norway outsourcing their production abroad. Our protest against mass manufacturing and cheap labor made us who we are today – determined to show that it is possible to create quality knitwear locally, in good working conditions, and always with a clear mission on reducing our carbon footprint. Changing the game from the inside, with patience and quality in every step of the way.”
