What is OMNES?

OMNES is a fresh voice in the apparel industry, all about shaking up how we shop, wear, and think about fashion. Their mission? To prove that fashion can be good quality, affordable, AND responsible. Yep, they want to do fashion differently — better, actually — and they’re inviting everyone to join in. Every piece is designed in their London studio, where the creative team sketches out styles you’ll want to wear on repeat, this season and beyond. It’s fashion that doesn’t cost the earth, literally and figuratively.

Main Benefits of OMNES’ Approach

Here’s what makes OMNES stand out:

  • Free UK delivery on orders over £100.
  • Create an account and earn points on every order.
  • All products are made using globally certified materials.
  • Small, carefully selected producers, each independently audited.
  • Accredited Living Wage Employer status.
  • Use of lowest impact fabrics — organic, recycled, and deadstock materials prioritized.
  • Partnership with Earthly since 2021 to measure and offset carbon footprint.
  • Offsetting 125% of operational carbon footprint — going beyond carbon neutrality.
  • B Corp score of 101.7, reflecting strong ethical and sustainable practices.

Design Philosophy and Sustainability

OMNES isn’t just about making clothes; it’s about making a statement. The design process starts in London, where creativity meets responsibility. The team sketches pieces that aren’t just trendy but timeless — clothes you’ll want to wear again and again. Then, the production is handled by a small group of trusted partners who meet strict ethical and environmental standards. It’s all about choosing lower impact materials and responsible manufacturing over mass-produced, trend-led fashion. The focus is on organic, recycled, and deadstock fabrics, always searching for new sustainability innovations.

Ethical Production and Fair Wages

Ethics are at the heart of OMNES. They don’t just talk the talk; they walk the walk by ensuring all their global partners and producers pay a living wage. Independent annual audits keep everything transparent and accountable, making sure working conditions are fair and safe. Being an accredited Living Wage Employer isn’t just a badge — it’s a commitment to doing right by the people who make the clothes. This approach helps create a fashion industry that values people as much as the planet.

Carbon Footprint and Environmental Responsibility

OMNES takes its environmental impact seriously. Since 2021, they’ve partnered with Earthly, a climate organization, to measure the carbon footprint of their operations. But they didn’t stop at just balancing out emissions — they’ve moved from offsetting 110% to 125% of their operational carbon footprint. That means they’re going beyond carbon neutrality, actively contributing to a healthier planet. It’s a bold move that shows real leadership in sustainable fashion.

Project Impact on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

  • SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth — promoting living wages and ethical labor practices.
  • SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production — prioritizing sustainable materials and production methods.
  • SDG 13: Climate Action — measuring and offsetting carbon emissions beyond neutrality.
  • SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals — collaborating with organizations like Earthly to amplify impact.

Continuous Learning and Community Engagement

OMNES is always learning — and they want to hear from you. Feedback is invaluable, whether it’s praise or ideas on how to do better. This openness reflects their commitment to growth and improvement, making the brand more than just a label — it’s a community effort. Together, they’re working to make fashion better for everyone, one conscious choice at a time.

What OMNES actually does

OMNES makes women’s clothing, dresses, tops, skirts, trousers, swimwear, knitwear, and denim, using materials including LENZING ECOVERO viscose, Tencel, certified organic cotton, linen, and certified recycled polyester. The company is based in Notting Hill, London.

Where OMNES shows up

  • Everyday wardrobe basics: curated “edits” in cotton, linen-blend, lace, and recycled material.
  • Lower-impact fibres: LENZING ECOVERO viscose and Tencel used as defaults across ranges, not occasional limited editions.
  • Carbon offsetting: its own operations offset through named partner Earthly, funding a REDD+ Brazil Nut Concession and the Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve.

Proof, not just claims

OMNES is a Certified B Corporation, with a B Impact Assessment score of 101.7, well above the 80-point certification threshold. It offsets 125% of its operational (Scope 1 and 2) carbon emissions through Earthly, though it is still building a full Scope 1-3 emissions baseline covering its wider supply chain, so its offsetting claim currently applies to its own operations rather than the complete lifecycle of a garment.

Why this belongs on a sustainability directory

OMNES’ SDG12 case rests on material choice as the default, not the exception: lower-impact fibres like Tencel and certified organic cotton built into its core “edits” rather than a single sustainable capsule collection. Its SDG13 case is more precise than a blanket “carbon neutral” claim, an operational offset through a named partner, honestly scoped to what it currently measures.
