UK Scholarship programme
Oh Polly and Glasgow Caledonian University are proud to support upcoming, new talent through a scholarship programme for Black British students. Since 2020, Oh Polly has provided Glasgow Caledonian fashion students with a generous financial package throughout the duration of their studies as well as work experience opportunities within the brand. The scholarship programme was created by Oh Polly and Glasgow Caledonian University to encourage diversity and help build a more inclusive environment within the fashion industry.

UK Industry Placements
2024 will be our second year of running industry placements for undergraduate students. The roles this year will be Customer Experience, IT, Design and Pattern Cutting.

The majority of our stock is produced in our in-house factories, meaning that our production is tightly managed by us.

For external factories we choose our supplier carefully. We prefer to form a direct association with manufacturers so we can have full visibility on working standards and quality control. This means, we also have a presence in our manufacturing units to ensure worker welfare at every stage. We follow a strict code of conduct in our own factory and make sure these are implemented with our manufacturing partners.
