Otsu

OTSU is a storefront and online shop based in San Francisco. We are a two-person company founded and run by Yvonne and Jeremy since 2002. We are both vegan (collectively for over 20 years) and we opened our storefront with the intention of providing sweatshop-free and vegan goods to a general audience in San Francisco via our storefront and all of... North America via our online shop. We are dedicated to supporting a small-scale, d.i.y. economy, including handicrafts and small press publications and works by artists and other craftspeople. Some of the things you'll find at OTSU are one-of-a-kind accessories, handmade mini-comics, cute vegan bags, exclusive OTSU artist t-shirts, Little Otsu print products, a large selection of vegan cookbooks, as well as some sweatshop-free vegan shoes and belts.
