Our Story

Ovalo for Art's Sake

We make unique handmade clothing for people who live for art — born in Barcelona's club culture, cut from 100% organic premium Pima cotton, worn like a manifesto.

The Origins

Born in the night

Óvalo didn't start on a runway. It started under strobe lights, making clothing for Macarena — the Barcelona techno club where our first pieces moved with the crowd until sunrise.

Then came our first event at Café del Mar Barcelona: one night that gathered painters, hairstylists, chefs, magicians and tattoo artists under a single idea — art for its own sake. It was such a success that a second edition followed, and a community was born.

“Ovalo for Art's Sake — a slogan the first night, a reason for everything since.”

The Pack

The wolves behind it

Óvalo was founded by three brothers — Nicolas, Cristopher Samuel and Juan Daniel Lores — who turned a shared obsession with art and nightlife into a clothing brand.

The pandemic changed the pack. Today, Cristopher Samuel Lores and Joel David Lores carry the wolf forward: they write, produce events and design every single piece that leaves the studio.

The Craft

Craft & transparency

Every Óvalo piece is made by hand from 100% organic premium Pima cotton and alpaca wool. No two garments are exactly alike — and we tell you exactly what each one is made of, fibre by fibre.

We've seen what synthetic fabrics do to the planet, so we went back to what came before them: organic materials, slow craft, and clothing that's meant to last longer than a trend.

Cities of inspiration

The Inspiration

Three cities, one spirit

Barcelona

Where it all began — graffiti walls, beach bars and club nights that bleed into sunrise. Our home and our loudest muse.

Two-tone Óvalo tee inspired by Amsterdam

Amsterdam

Canals, contrast and quiet rebellion. Amsterdam teaches us restraint — clean lines that let the artwork speak.

London

Raw, eclectic, always ahead. London pushes our cuts further — silhouettes for every body, every age, every scene.

The Community

Worn where the music plays

You'll find Óvalo at Brunch Electronik, in the elrow crowd, on club floors and at gallery openings — wherever the art community gathers, the wolf shows up.

Every design carries the artwork and the story behind it. When you wear a piece, you carry that story with you — from the studio to the dance floor.
