The Onori Story
ABOUT US
Founded in December 2023 and based in Dubai, ONORI is a fashion house creating timeless ready-to-wear defined by a refined, modern perspective. Guided by the belief that true elegance transcends time, each piece is thoughtfully designed and carefully crafted, drawing inspiration from the distinctive style of the 60s through the 90s and reinterpreting it through contemporary tailoring.
Inspired by sun-soaked coastlines, nostalgic glamour, and effortless sophistication, ONORI creates statement essentials that feel both enduring and contemporary. With a focus on quality, craftsmanship, and thoughtful design, every piece is made to be worn, remembered, and revisited over time.
With a growing presence across select retail and e-commerce platforms, ONORI is steadily expanding globally. The brand speaks to women who value individuality over trends, timeless design, those who dress with purpose, appreciate quiet confidence, and seek style with substance.
ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Sharifa Alsharif Alhashemi is the Founder and Creative Director of ONORI, a Dubai-based fashion house established in December 2023. With over a decade of exposure in fashion and beauty business, she developed an early understanding of craftsmanship, branding, and the power of feminine expression. She later strengthened her leadership and strategic thinking through her work in finance and at the World Bank Group, bringing a rare balance of business acumen and creative vision to ONORI. Raised by parents who believed wholeheartedly in her dreams, Sharifa was guided by her father's philosophy: "If you choose to do something, do it to the best of your ability and with all your heart, or don't do it at all." That belief continues to shape everything she creates.
Deeply involved in every stage of the creative and production process, Sharifa designs with a focus on timeless elegance, refined femininity, and exceptional craftsmanship. For her, ONORI is more than a fashion brand; it is a reflection of love, family, and purpose. Inspired by the unwavering support of her parents and sisters, every collection celebrates meaningful memories, enduring beauty, and the women who inspire us to dream, create, and give back.
INITIATIVE
My sister was my greatest inspiration and role model. Her strength and compassion inspired me to create something meaningful. Every design became a tribute to her, and a portion of our proceeds has supported the philanthropic causes that were close to her heart. Each purchase has represented a step towards positive change, reflecting the values she embodied. ONORI was created as more than a fashion brand. It became a symbol of love, inspiration, and giving back.
With every purchase you make, we donate 5$ to Emirates Red Crescent for causes close to all of our hearts. Making the world a better place.
