Omi Omi: Our Manufacturing & Brand Ethos

Omi Omi is a female-founded and female-led fashion and lifestyle brand, created by Naomi Nikola, an ESMOD Japan graduate. As the brand’s creative director and designer, Naomi oversees every aspect of Omi Omi—from design conception to final production—ensuring each piece embodies the brand’s unique vision.

We partner with a small, skilled manufacturer in the Philippines, where artisans craft each garment with precision and care. We are deeply proud of our manufacturing process and the talented team behind it.

Size-Inclusive, Thoughtfully Made Fashion

At Omi Omi, we believe high-quality, ethically made designer fashion should be available in a diverse range of sizes and styles. Each piece is carefully fitted on both petite and plus-size models to ensure a flattering fit for different body types.

To be even more inclusive, we offer customizable sizing options for those with unique fit concerns. Whether you have particular proportions, height differences, or other specific needs, you can send us your measurements at checkout or contact us within 3 days of placing your order for a more personalized fit.

Our designs are more than just clothing—they are a form of self-expression and stylish armor, allowing you to embrace your individuality while challenging societal norms.

Low-Waste, Small-Batch Production

Omi Omi is committed to reducing waste. We produce in small, limited runs instead of mass bulk production, ensuring that each item finds a home with someone who truly loves it. Some pieces have only 15-20 units ever made, making them special and collectible.

We also pre-sell many of our bestsellers to minimize overproduction. This is why sizes sell out quickly—our customers know to act fast for each drop!

Sustainability: Our Commitment & Challenges

While we are not 100% sustainable, we are constantly evolving. Our garments include polyester, but we are actively researching better fabric alternatives—not as a marketing trend, but as a genuine commitment to improvement.

Sustainability in fashion is complex. All fabrics have an impact on the environment unless they are vintage, and sustainable materials remain expensive due to industry pricing. However, with your support, we can push for industry-wide changes and make eco-conscious fashion more accessible.

With every collection, we take steps toward a smaller footprint, balancing sustainability with affordability. As we grow, so will our ability to invest in more sustainable practices.
