Dear Ouno Customers! Please watch for our Spring 2010 eco-leather bag launch, as well as our new lines of bedding. We will continue to produce beautiful pillows from vintage and sustainable new fabrics, though in smaller numbers to make way for our new lines.

Ouno Design is part of the handmade revolution in modern decor, resuscitating beautiful vintage and remnant materials and painstakingly hand-producing luxury accessories in the tradition of Westcoast Modernism, the warmer, more tactile modern tradition. Ouno's wares are produced in Vancouver in a converted church studio. Our decor and fashion accessories include bags for men and women, modern designer throw pillows, area rugs and wall hangings, throws & bed coverings, furniture-sized floor cushions, scarves and other fashion accessories, conversation pieces and sculptural objects, all made from top-quality vintage or sustainable new materials. For USA and international buyers: no sales taxes are applied to items shipped out of Canada. And because our materials are 100% made in Canada they are customs-exempt for USA buyers, and because they are made from vintage materials, they are customs-exempt for most other international buyers as well. You pay only shipping.

Buy from us via this website in Canadian dollars, or via our two Etsy shops in US dollars, or from our retailers. Click here for more information or to read our policies.

These are a few of our favourite things.

NOTE: Ouno Design condemns the radical cuts to arts & culture funding in BC, setting us apart from the rest of Canada. A vibrant arts scene leads to innovation in society and economy, and we cut it at our own peril.

You can help.
