life+style.

Matthew and I have poured our hearts and souls into creating our eponymous brand over the last 17 years. Our gender-neutral approach was clearly unique at the time; and remains extremely unique even today. But a concept or idea are only as good as the products produced, and the people that produce them.

Back in the early days of our brand, our founders Matthew and Andrew were known for the dinner parties they would host in our original Chelsea shop, located just below the apartment they shared at the time. Andrew would whip up a simple, but seasonal menu for a small group of guests to enjoy alongside the excellent wine and conversation on offer.

Founded by fashion retail experts Carl Cunow and Nathan Romano, Onia marries style and functionality to create high-quality and timeless swimwear pieces for both men and women. We sat down with the two entrepreneurs to discuss our shared inspirations, their daily regimens and how they built their distinct brand in an ever-evolving retail landscape.  

If you've explored one of our shops recently, you may have seen some new products lining the shelves, joining the ranks of the other family-owned apothecary brands we've curated over the years. Those would be the Early Bird and Twilight toothpastes from Twice, a brand founded by two brothers on a mission.
