What is Oiselle?
Founded in 2007, Oiselle has carved out a distinct niche by prioritizing the intersection of high-performance design and community-driven engagement. Originally launched to address the lack of functional, non-bulky athletic shorts for women, the company has evolved into a comprehensive lifestyle and competition apparel brand. Beyond its product line, Oiselle distinguishes itself through the Volée, a robust virtual and physical community for female athletes, and its philanthropic Bras for Girls initiative. Headquartered in Magnuson Park, Seattle, the firm maintains a hybrid retail model, operating both a direct-to-consumer digital platform and a flagship brick-and-mortar location in University Village, effectively bridging the gap between digital community building and physical retail presence.
