“I’m Siobhan. Mama to two babes, and founder of my third baby, OMOS. OMOS blossomed from my unwillingness to let beautiful things go to waste and my strong love for craft. My Grandma’s vintage cutlery once destined for the landfill was the catalyst that sent me on my hand stamping frenzy.”
“Over the years omos has grown into a joint, whole family venture. Our daughter, and more lately our son, indie and reuben help in the search for, and in organising the cutlery, whilst both my husband, sam and i work as many hours as we can to get the job done, alongside juggling family-life with two small children. With each piece being customisable we are often privy to some of our customers most Special moments - baby announcements, engagements, wedding days, milestone Birthdays and retirements. You name it, you can #SayItWithOMOS. Nothing brings me greater joy than knowing that the products i create will go on to become heirloom pieces, passed on through the family, enjoyed over and over. All products are finished by hand and packaged in my workshop, here in manchester. Every order placed supports my family and i and for that i will be forever grateful, without my loyal customers and followers my business wouldn’t grow.”
x n a h b o i S , Love
“Since then I’ve gone on to add laser engraved enamelware to my repertoire because i felt that the products compliment eachother well. In using vintage cutlery and steel enamelware, I know that OMOS products are sustainable by nature but also in beauty, as both will withstand the test of time.”
“A lifetime in your hands and nothing into landfill”
