Im a real water baby at heart but I love everything the summer has to offer! You can consistently find me soaking up the sun on weekends in Dubai, either relaxing poolside or paddling at sunset beach. What you won’t find me doing though is sitting on the sand. I have a very real (but unexplainable) freak out if I get sandy. I’m not talking toes as such, but if I pick up a towel, I have to inspect every inch of it first! Either way, I’d be lost if I moved somewhere without access to the sea.
Which is why I’m a massive fan of beachwear too… (the name kinda gave that away right), so I wanted to introduce you to OMASI – for those who haven’t already heard of them, Omasi was created by two lovely long-term Dubai residents who also had a passion for this city and its beach life. Finnish born, Hanne and Terhi started Omasi 2 1/2 years ago and having spent lots of summer’s in the sunshine, they were constantly picking up beach products the world over. With this in mind, they saw a real niche here for locally designed and produced products that you can get online.
Their products are comfy, very wearable (I take my poncho everywhere) and are even brand-able. What’s even greater, is that they are the perfect presents – they can be customised with either initials or your full name! Currently found in a wealth of hotel shops like Atlantis, Sofitel and Kempinski, as well as specialist stores like the SurfHouse, Adventure HQ, expect to find their label on most of your holiday hit-lists.
