About

onsēm offers handmade ready to wear and tailored skirts using beautiful vibrant African prints, sourced at specialist African prints suppliers in the Bronx and Manhattan, a few miles from our design studio where we produce all our skirts. 

The onsēm skirts makes women feel feminine and effortlessly elegant; it is a skirt for all occasions from morning rush to evening out. 

Environmentally conscious, we only make a few items at a time to avoid waste of fabrics. While our core business is about skirts, we also make beautiful big bags and other accessories.

onsēm was born in 2021 as a result of a friendship of 2 French women meeting in New York and their love of vibrant African fabrics and fashion. 

For Charlotte who grew up in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, wax fabric was all around while Frédérique bought her first African prints in Barbes, Paris during her student days. 

Whilst the love of African Print lay dormant for years, the sparks reignited in the Big Apple and the adventure of onsēm began.
