A Trailblaz er from Mongolia
Mongolia, a land known for its vast steppes and rich cultural heritage, has produced a modern-day trailblazer in the form of Oyuntsetseg Oyuntsetseg. As the founder of OYUT Brand and co-founder of OYUT BASIC LLC in the United States, Oyuntsetseg is on a mission to transform Mongolian craftsmanship into a globally recognized force in the fashion industry. Her entrepreneurial achievements and ambitious plans for the U.S. market reflect not only her business acumen but also her commitment to bridging cultures through sustainable economic initiatives.
From Local Retail to a Global Vision
Oyuntsetseg’s entrepreneurial journey began modestly in 2011 with “Youth Choice,” a retail business in Mongolia that specialized in importing goods from Internationally. What started as a small enterprise quickly became a trusted name in the local market. However, Oyuntsetseg’s ambitions extended far beyond retail. In 2020, amidst the challenges of a global pandemic, she launched OYUT Brand, a homegrown Mongolian fashion line that champions quality, innovation, and cultural authenticity.
With her dedication and leadership, OYUT Brand has grown into a thriving business. The brand operates its own manufacturing facility in Ulaanbaatar, employing 15 artisans who create high-quality apparel, from leather goods to tailored suits. This vertically integrated approach ensures that the “Made in Mongolia” label embodies superior craftsmanship and reliability.
Building Bridges to the U.S. Market
In May 2024, Oyuntsetseg co-founded OYUT BASIC LLC in Chicago, Illinois, as a platform to introduce her brand to the U.S. market. Through its online store, [www.oyutbasic.com](http://www.oyutbasic.com), and innovative marketing strategies, the company has already begun to make waves. However, Oyuntsetseg’s plans for the U.S. extend well beyond digital retail.
