About OMIKA

OMIKA is a women’s fashion brand. They combine the bohemian aesthetic with timeless fashion that’s perfect for wearing casually at home or beyond.

Omika (Oh-mee-kah) is the Indian word meaning “kindness.” It reminder to take care of yourself and others.

Co-founders Erin and Stephanie are designers and friends who met while designing home products for John Robshaw & Anthropologie. With their collective 25+ years of industry experience, they wanted to create an apparel brand that appropriately reflected their values and aesthetic.

In late 2019 they decided to move into women’s apparel, launching a collection that became known for its gorgeous patterns and relaxed yet flattering fit.

All designs start in-house and Stephanie, a classically trained illustrator, and Omika’s co-founder hand-paints each pattern, creating one-of-a-kind pieces that you’ll want to wear forever.

I reviewed the following styles in this post:

Lana Maxi ($398) – I purchased this dress at Anthropologie during a sale. I LOVE the ruched cross back and bowtie shoulder details. It flows so effortlessly and I always get compliments.
Harlow Mini Dress ($348) – I am OBSESSED with this dress! It’s so cute fun and flirty! I’ll be wearing this one on repeat. It runs true to size, has pockets, and a drawstring waistband with built-in elastic for a cinched waist look.
