OTTO FINN






ABOUT ME:
I’m Rona Chang, founder and Chief Textile Enthusiast of OTTO FINN. My bicultural background and experience growing up in Taiwan and New York City developed my openness to the cultural exchange of ideas. My extensive experience working in a museum environment and working with and visiting many art collections developed my style at OTTO FINN, which emphasizes textiles with stories and bold prints. The Japanese woodblock prints in the Asian Art department at The Metropolitan Museum of Art have served as a source of inspiration ever since I worked with them.
ABOUT THE SHOP:
We empower our clients to embrace their individuality distinctly, comfortably and consciously. We make our jackets by using colorful, upcycled kanthas with intricate hand-stitching. It is a wearable piece of art and the centerpiece for a capsule wardrobe. Kanthas are quilts traditionally from the Bengali region made from old saris or other discarded cloth with a running stitch.
OTTO FINN is an Asian American woman run business. Our products are made by a small team of creators in Pittsburgh, PA, who are always mindful of our resources. We believe in minimum waste, maximum comfort and authenticity.
