The small local\u00a0fashion industry was then dominated by retailers bringing almost all their merchandise from anywhere else in the world and a few regional artisans that went around offering their crafts in\u00a0stores and markets. Was in one of those markets that Marina met the girls that would help her shape her vision.<\/p>\n<p>Alicia and Ofelia where (and still are) the first collaborators Marina teamed with to start developing her clothing and accessories.\u00a0Through lots of trial and error and\u00a0kilometers of threads and fabric\u00a0after, the earliest Omnia&#8217;s covers were born and -surprisingly for her- sold almost immediately. More local artisans and regional suppliers were added to the list\u00a0as Omnia&#8217;s production and reach expanded, always loyal to its\u00a0founding principles: to make beautiful, comfortable and quality products while using as many\u00a0regional materials as possible and employing local talent to promote the growth of the community where we live.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell us your own story with Omnia.

But they are not stationary. We carry them wherever we go as they keep spreading around and nurturing out of our everyday experiences, the people we come across, the books we read, the films we watch, the coffees we share, the sunsets we witness, the places we discover, and a long list of etceteras. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\"><span class=\"color_28\">Tulum is Omnia\u2019s homeland. That&#8217;s why we chose to produce everything here, inspired by ancient local traditions and techniques, working along regional artisans and traders, and using as many native raw materials as we can get our hands on. That\u2019s also why we pledge with the people that team with us in every stage of our process, whether they be a family of embroiders, a farmer of some basic material or a driver that delivers\u00a0our efforts to a store. We make our best to honor their wisdom and trust by reinvesting locally and establishing fair working agreements that seek to make our roots grow deeper and stronger within our community.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1634589903469{margin-top: 60px !important;margin-bottom: 60px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1634590363707{margin-top: 60px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div id=\"comp-jdhsqxjv\" class=\"_1Q9if\" data-testid=\"richTextElement\">\n<div id=\"comp-jdhs36wp1\" class=\"_1Q9if\" data-testid=\"richTextElement\">\n<h4 class=\"font_5\"><span class=\"color_28\">SINGULAR<\/span><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comp-jdhszzos\" class=\"_1Q9if\" data-testid=\"richTextElement\">\n<p class=\"font_8\"><span class=\"color_28\">It is true that no one is like any other. But it is also true that we are all followers of certain patterns: whether we like it or not, we follow social rules, cultural templates, fashion trends, marketing segmentations, opinions polls, religion cults, and even celebrities\u2019 social media (yes, we do). But that\u2019s only because we chose to do so, right? And maybe also because a still-not-well-comprehended brain mechanism that favors social conformity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\"><span class=\"color_28\">Thing is we believe everyone should allow themselves to be truly and stubbornly as unique and irrepetible as we\u2019ve been told we are. Because\u00a0the differences between\u00a0us are worth being celebrated. That\u2019s what make humans such an interesting species after all. And that\u2019s what we keep in mind when crafting all our one-in-a-kind items.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1634589982628{margin-top: 120px !important;}&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;4116&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1634589912713{margin-top: 60px !important;margin-bottom: 60px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1634589486139{margin-top: 120px !important;}&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;4117&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1634590853052{margin-top: 50px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div id=\"comp-jdhsqxjv\" class=\"_1Q9if\" data-testid=\"richTextElement\">\n<div id=\"comp-jdhtimho\" class=\"_1Q9if\" data-testid=\"richTextElement\">\n<h4 class=\"font_5\"><span class=\"color_28\">AWAKEN<\/span><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"comp-jdhtimhn\" class=\"_1Q9if\" data-testid=\"richTextElement\">\n<p class=\"font_8\"><span class=\"color_28\">Not so long ago, in primitive economies, people used to exchange goods and services with members of their village or community.

That\u2019s why we care and provide for the friends and families that collaborate with us and for the places they live in, on the basis of trust, solidarity and mutual respect. That\u2019s why we seek consensus and establish working conditions and remunerations that help with\u00a0their\u00a0self-sufficiency as well as fight social issues like gender inequality. And that\u2019s also why we are always searching for new resources and suppliers that agree with our working ethics and attend to high environmental standards. We&#8217;ve been asleep for long.

Once functionality is fulfilled (let&#8217;s agree we need clothes to protect ourselves from weather and, if you wish, to comply to some social standards) we usually enter in the symbolic terrain, where\u00a0clothes add an extra\u00a0layer of meaning and say something about ourselves, about who we are and what we believe\u00a0in, even if all they are saying\u00a0is &#8216;I don&#8217;t care about clothes&#8217;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\"><span class=\"color_28\"><span class=\"wixGuard\">\u200b<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"font_8\"><span class=\"color_28\">Omnia&#8217;s clothing and accessories have a clear message: they speak about freedom, about comfort, movement, sensuality and self-confidence. And even more, they are all designed and crafted to go everywhere with people that moves around freely and opened to change.
