The Ownley mission is simple: offer purposeful pieces & encourage a mindful, fun-loving and effortless approach to style.

Central to our collections is a feeling of relevance & authenticity. We do away with wasteful practice, catering to the unofficial uniform of women everywhere in a shared vision of sustainability, accountability & transparency.

The brand appeals to those who sought after quality with a sustainable edge. There’s a sense of attitude embedded in the clean lines of the Ownley project, with ethics & aesthetics at our core. We create easy-to-wear & equally hard-to-resist pieces, in harmony with honest price points.

We are passionate about limiting our use of single use plastics in the entire production cycle. We began using biodegradable plastic in 2018 and our online orders are packaged using only 100% recycled and biodegradable materials.
