Black-Owned Business, RE ONA, Is Re-inventing Basics Into Luxe Pieces
By Claudia Langella
Basics garments (like tees, tanks and crop tops) are the backbone of any killer outfit. We love incorporating the season’s hottest trends into any look like the next girl does, but frilly tops just won’t serve you quite as long as a high quality white tank top will. RE ONA is the basics brand you need on your radar. From simple biker shorts to chic bodycon dresses, you’ll find something you can rewear hundreds of different ways at RE ONA.
RE ONA’s pieces are designed in Toronto and produced in Bangladesh in a sustainable factory where workers are paid a fair wage. Every collection is produced on a small scale so the brand can avoid overproduction. Let’s go slow fashion! The brand believes that garments should be minimal and effortless, ensuring each customer’s comfort in every purchase.
Founded by sisters Christina and Philiscia Abayomi, this brand celebrates function and transitionality because there’s no need to keep buying new basics every season. Each piece is handmade “using a special double layered technique,” according to the brand’s site. You can rest assured that seams won’t split or fray even when you break out on the dance floor. Fingers crossed that we’ll see nights out in 2021!
If you love the athleisure trend, then step up your game with RE ONA’s pieces. Your boss won’t even know how comfortable you are in this brand’s Button Up Cardi that you sport during every Zoom call. Check out our editor’s picks below for comfortable and stylish basics that will last you years!
