Oni Omi, which means "Today's Water" in Yoruba, is a modern luxury fashion and lifestyle brand that channels the strength, clarity, and adaptability of water, drawing inspiration from the vibrant artistic and cultural heritage of the African continent. We design for the person who is confident in their identity, rooted in a rich heritage, inspired by tradition that has been refined by global experience. Our vision is to reflect the inherent regality and energy we see in our clients through elegant, contemporary pieces that flow effortlessly through different settings, always staying true to who they are.


Oni Omi grew from a deep appreciation for the often-overlooked richness and elegance of African cultures. Having experienced this firsthand, with vivid memories of abundance and pride, the brand seeks to offer a fresh story. We aim to showcase the sophistication, artistry, and historical wealth of the continent, inviting a new perspective and deeper understanding.


Our collections embody this spirit—designed to resonate with those who appreciate nuanced beauty and profound history. Oni Omi aspires to be a lifestyle brand that celebrates strength, creativity, and enduring pride, offering a window into a world of vibrant heritage and modern expression.

Heritage Fact

In Yoruba culture, "Oni" also refers to the Ooni of Ife, a paramount traditional ruler in southwestern Nigeria, much like a king in other cultures. Revered as a significant cultural and historical figure, the Ooni holds a position of high esteem among the Yoruba people. While Yoruba traditions include ancestral reverence, the Ooni's role can be understood as a central figure in their cultural heritage and social structure.
