“THE BEST TIES IN THE WORLD.

In 2011, OTAA was founded in Melbourne as a rebellion against the faceless world of luxury menswear. Today, we stand as the definitive global leader in shirts and ties—a status verified by the world’s most rigorous industry critics, government bodies, and style authorities.


Through relentless technical innovation and hand-finished craftsmanship, OTAA doesn't just meet industry standards; we define them.
