  • Dive behind the scenes

    Discover what makes our clothes good for you and the planet

  • It’s a simple idea

    Fashion that doesn’t cost the earth. To us at OMNES, it’s a 

    mission.

  • A desire to look good is nothing to be ashamed of, but the damage that some fashion is doing to our environment is. 

    We all need to do things differently. OMNES exists to create clothing that is cool and considered, so that you can have great style, without damaging the planet or your wallet.

  • The role we play

    We understand that the responsibility is on us just as much as the consumer

  • Eighty Percent

    of a garment’s environmental impact is determined at the design stage.

  • You’ve probably read that the fashion industry is one of our world’s worst polluters. There are many reasons why, but the biggest - and the easiest to change – is decided at the design stage.

    At OMNES our goal is to avoid any of our garments ending up in landfill so, from the outset, when our expert designers are still sketching the latest pieces, we’re thinking about the right choice of material, how we can make sure you’ll be able to wear it for as long as possible and what will happen to it when you can’t do that anymore.

    We’re also committed to eliminating the waste that is usually created when making clothes, whether that be through innovative designs that
    utilise fabric off cuts, or upcyling off cuts into accessories.


    But we also know that behind every item of clothing are the human hands that make them, and so being able to trust that the factories OMNES works with treat their workers fairly is crucial. All of those producing clothes and accessories for us are fully audited to ensure they meet our high standards when it comes to Health and Safety, Environment, Business Ethics and Labour Standards.

  • Our Suppliers

    Creating clothes for us is a partnership with our suppliers and factories and when you work in partnership there is a mutual trust and respect for everyone involved.

    We are dedicated to ensuring our work does not impact the environment or the people we work with in a negative way.

    That is why everyone we work with is fully audited and has signed our partnership policy, which outlines our very high standards under the categories of people, planet & the greater good. OMNES will never work with anyone that doesn’t treat their employees fairly.

  • Our Fabrics




    We only use quality fabrics that are grown, sourced and manufactured responsibly, prioritising natural, recycled and deadstock materials. This has included FSC® (The Forest Stewardship Council) certified viscose and LENZING ECOVERO viscose fibres, Organic Cotton, BCI Cotton, Linen, Recycled Polyester, and Wool.

    We’ve also thought about the recyclability of every garment at the end of its life, and so wherever possible we choose to use fabrics that are 100% one fibre over blends.


    But we don’t stop there. Our fabric mills are audited and advised annually on their energy, waste, water and emission management as part of the Sustainable Apparel Coalition, through which members commit to measuring and improving social and environmental sustainability impacts.  And for our eye-catching prints, as much as possible we use OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and Global Organic Textile Standard approved digital printers to digitally print our designs, saving water and energy and ensuring no harmful, chemical substances are used in our printing process.

  • Want to see our credentials?

    We’re happy to show you, and we’d love you to start checking with your favourite brands to see where your clothes are really coming from. Find out what some of our certifications and standards mean below.

    • No. 1

      FSC® Certified

      FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification means that where the raw material for the fabric or packaging is derived from wood, this has been harvested from forests that are responsibly managed, socially beneficial, environmentally conscious and economically viable.

    • No. 2

      OEKO-TEX Certified

      Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX verifies that a finished fibre has been tested for and contains no residual chemicals which may be harmful to health.

    • No. 3

      REACH Standards

      REACH is a regulation of the European Union, adopted to improve the protection of human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by chemicals. Our fabric mills carry out proactive chemical management in line with REACH Standards to eliminate hazardous chemicals in the production process.

    • No. 4

      Digital Printing

      Wherever possible, we choose to digitally print our textiles, if the fabric allows for digital printing.

    • Why we choose digital

      Digital textile printing saved over 40 billion litres of water worldwide in 2019

    • Why we choose digital

      It offers an efficient solution compared to the traditional rotary screen printing method, which consumes approximately 50-60 litres of water per metre.

    • Why we choose digital

      Digital printing uses approximately 10% of the volume of colour used in screen printing

    • Why we choose digital

      On average a digital printing machine saves over 63% of energy vs. a conventional rotary screen printer.

  • How to care for your clothes

    To prolong the life and love of your clothes, you need to consider how you wash, dry and care for them. Up to 30% of each garment's carbon footprint is determined by how you treat your clothes after you buy them. Not sure what to do for the best? Here’s what we suggest.

    • Wash

      Hand washing is ideal. If you need to use your washing machine, use eco-friendly, non-toxic detergents and set it to a cold wash or a maximum of 30 degrees. Don’t forget to hit the eco setting if you have one.

    • Dry

      If you can, hang clothes outside to dry in the sunshine where they’ll benefit from the sun’s natural antibacterial properties. If the weather isn’t on your side, dry them inside on an airer. As well as consuming a lot of energy, the heat of a tumble drier will wear your clothes down quickly, meaning you’ll have to replace them sooner.

    • How often?

      As little as possible. Experts agree that washing every piece of clothing each time you wear it is excessive, costing the planet and your finances. Fashion editors advise hanging items up as soon as you take them off, in the fresh air if possible, and placing them in a steamy bathroom to help creases drop out.

    • Should you dry clean?

      Dry cleaning uses a lot of extremely toxic chemicals. If you absolutely can’t clean your clothes at home, there are a few more eco-friendly dry cleaning companies, but make sure you do your research about their processes.

  • Our Packaging

    Producing and disposing of plastic accounts for nearly 14% of the world’s oil and gas use.

    That’s why the OMNES packaging that your fashion purchases will arrive in is made from recyclable card that is made from a mixture of waste paper and wood pulp, which has been sourced from a man-made regenerated forest - our boxes are FSC mix and FSC recycled certified. And while the material items are sent in is an obvious issue, have you thought about what the labels in your clothes are made from?

    OMNES labels are all from recycled plastic that has been removed from the ocean.The OMNES labels have been woven with a yarn whose life was once a plastic bottle. The PET plastic is cleaned, crushed and recycled into a new recycled polyester having been certified by Control Union. Trust us, we don’t take shortcuts.

  • Our Charities

    The OMNES community is always evolving

    By working with charities and building relationships to last, we can continue to expand and make positive changes within the fashion industry. We know we are far from perfect and still have a lot of work to do, so if you have any suggestions or advice to help us on our journey we would love to hear from you. 

    Please say hello here hello@omnes.com

    Also, we hope to share more information with you soon on the exciting charities that we are partnering with!

    P.S. don’t forget to recycle with us. More information can be found on our Recycling Policy.
