Oaklandish started in 2000 as a public art project designed to illuminate Oakland's local history and unique cultural legacy. After years of covert multi-media stunts around the Town, the Oaklandish brand of apparel was introduced to help support our ongoing calendar of free events, pro bono work, and community engagement.

In any given year, Oaklandish employs between 60 and 100 full-time and part-time employees, plus many local freelancers: photographers, designers, videographers, and models.

We design almost everything in-house and through collaborations with local nonprofits and artists. We do work with some freelance designers too.

We screen print our apparel in our Jack London waterfront warehouse. We believe in creating quality jobs for Oaklanders, so we try to keep as much in-house as possible.

Yes! Please email print@oaklandish.com if you would like to inquire about our screen printing services.

We collaborate and work with many local nonprofits, small businesses, and creative individuals. However, Oaklandish is a locally owned and operated independent business. We are also women and POC-owned.

We are independently owned, with no official affiliation with the city government.

Our community work is a central part of our business model. We strongly believe in having a third party keep us accountable. So in 2012, we became a certified B Corporation. 

B Corps are certified businesses that work to solve social and environmental problems. To receive B-Corp certification, companies must participate in a structured review of every aspect of their operations. They are then scored based on how they treat their employees, the environment, and the community. 

These certifications help customers tell the difference between the companies that are really committed to doing good globally and those that just have clever marketing. 

Review our B-Corp score here.

Our models are our team members, friends, and some exceptionally stylish folks we run into on the street, or who our photographer friends know or have worked with. We think they do an excellent job of displaying the charm and style unique to Oakland. 

If you think you'd be a good Oaklandish model, email photo@oaklandish.com and let us know!
