ONAR

ONAR, meaning "dream" in Ancient Greek, is a fashion and accessories brand based in Finland that introduces a contemporary and minimal take on Nordic craftsmanship. Founder and designer Irene Kostas is from a family of artisans who have passed down the skills and knowledge of working with leather and shearling.

Founded in 2014, ONAR respects the beauty of animals and only works with suppliers who can guarantee shearlings that would otherwise have gone to waste in the food industry. Their colours are created by vegetable dyeing instead of chrome-tanning to avoid harsh chemicals that are damaging to the environment. ONAR is committed to respecting people, the planet, and animals from construction to consumer.
