OUR STORY
Occhii is a luxury fashion brand based in New York City, founded in 2018. We are rooted in a passion for exceptional material sourcing and rich storytelling.
Occhii is inspired by the word for 'eyes' in several languages. For example, in Italian, it's 'occhi'; in Romanian, 'ochi'; in Polish, 'oczy'; and in Slovenian, 'oči.' These linguistic ties span Romance and Slavic languages to the universal concept of sight.
Sight—and specifically one’s ability to “see beyond”—is core to our ethos. We see beyond the mundane and monotonous to create a fantastical and vivid world. This world lives between a dream and a delusion.
Living between a dream and a delusion speaks to more than just our process—it speaks to our way of life. It’s where we find our power and how we express our truth.
Our fantasies weave art, pop culture, and our personal experiences. We tell this story through contrasts, materials, and construction. Each piece fits into an intricate universe full of mysterious spies, famous musicians, glamorous housewives, warehouse ravers, and our mothers and grandmothers.
We design wearable clothes for those with an unwavering sense of self and bold imagination. We do not make clothes that are exclusively menswear or womenswear, formal or street. We make what feels right to us and that spans across categories.
Fabrics such as luxurious artisan silks or antique kimono scraps and techniques such as patchworking or hand-dyeing each contribute to a story far greater than the sum of its parts, intricately woven into Occhii’s universe and our cast of imagined characters.
