About Us

Otte is a luxury shopping experience for women of distinct taste for understate luxury and contemporary design. Starting with one boutique in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in 1999, we have grown to 3 retail locations in New York City and a global presence online by consistently helping our customers build functional and stylish wardrobes through a wide selection of designer ready-to-wear, shoes, jewelry and accessories.

Finding inspiration on the streets of New York and abroad, Otte is committed to bringing the best selection of pieces to our customers in a speciality setting with excellent service. True to our aesthetic, Otte strives to provide customers with a beautiful, well-curated selection of pieces from both established and emerging designers. Founder and head buyer, Kay Lee, cultivates new designers and finds inspiration from her frequent travels, most recently to Africa. With a degree in fashion design from Parsons, Kay understands the importance of fit, quality materials, and design.
