ORE MI
Oré mi, – an expression which means my friend in Yoruba – was founded by Karen Olla in 2019. They create handmade lifestyle products with luxurious, lasting scents. Each one is made in south London, inspired by their Nigerian heritage. In the fast-paced, digitally connected world we live in, our collective wellbeing is often treated as an afterthought. Oré mi believe that our senses are powerful; and that through the ritual of lighting a candle or exploring new scents, we can transform our space and immediately alter the way we feel. Most importantly of all, the brand was born out of her desire to break the taboo which surrounds the topic of mental health in the Black community. Share images & positive stories of a Black childhood and support and celebrate African lifestyle products.
