We Aren't Tied To Charity. We Are The Village.

We didn't start a clothing brand that donates to charity. LIV Village started — a children's home in Durban that rescues orphaned and vulnerable kids — and built a clothing brand to fund it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our products, shipping, returns, and more.

What makes OCC different from other basics brands? +

Every OCC garment is cut and sewn in Africa using 220GSM+ combed cotton — heavier than most premium brands charge double for. But here's what really sets us apart: 20% of every sale goes directly to LIV Village, where 642 children are being educated and 17,505 lives were impacted last year alone. You get a genuinely superior product, and a child gets a future. No gimmicks, no greenwashing — just heavyweight basics with heavyweight purpose.

Why should I pay more for a "basic" tee? +

Because a R200 fast-fashion tee costs you more in the long run — it fades after five washes, loses shape by ten, and ends up in a landfill by month three. An OCC tee is built to last. Heavyweight fabric, reinforced seams, colourfast dyes. Our customers rewear their OCC pieces 50-100+ times. That's a cost-per-wear of under R5. And unlike that disposable tee, yours helped put food on a table in Amaoti and a child through school in Durban. That's not expensive — that's value.

How does the quality compare to international premium brands? +

We benchmark against brands like Reigning Champ and ASKET. Our tees use 100% combed cotton at 220GSM+, pre-shrunk and triple-stitched at stress points. The fabric is milled locally in KZN, and every garment is quality-checked by hand before it ships. Most customers tell us the weight and feel is noticeably better than brands costing 2-3x more — because we sell direct, you're not paying for a middleman or an import markup.

What if it doesn't fit or I don't love it? +

Send it back. We offer a no-questions-asked return policy because we'd rather lose a sale than your trust. If the fit isn't right or the quality doesn't meet your expectations, we'll refund you or exchange it — simple. That said, fewer than 3% of orders come back. Once you feel the weight of an OCC tee, you'll understand why.

What is your return policy? +

We offer a 30-day return policy. If you're not satisfied with your purchase, you can return it within 30 days for a full refund or exchange.
