ONAR (which translates to “dream” in ancient Greek) had always been in the stars for its Helsinki-based designer, Irene Kostas. After inheriting her father's Greek furrier techniques, the half Finnish, half Greek designer fused the old world with the new, creating her inaugural collection of recycled fur and leather accessories.
Combining Byzantine era aesthetics and Scandinavian environmentalism, ONAR began with hand-picked materials, sourced from industry surplus materials like vintage fur and Italian leathers. Each piece is then rendered into minimal, modern, acid-colored collars and earmuffs by artisans in her homelands of Finland and Greece. It's a plush, sustainable collection to replace winter's predictable scarf-and-beanie combo—and looks ace on nearly everyone, even a 9-year-old.
