ABOUT THE FOUNDERS

Our founders, Lin and Katharina, bring over twenty years of exceptional experience in the luxury fashion industry, holding influential executive roles across Europe with some of the most iconic brands in the world. Their careers have included leadership positions at esteemed maisons such as Louis Vuitton, Prada, Celine, Victoria Beckham, and Moncler, where they refined their expertise in retail, wholesale, general management, and strategic business development.

Throughout their distinguished journeys, they demonstrated a talent for developing, positioning, and marketing powerful brands that embody timeless elegance and innovative design.

Their dedication to authentic craftsmanship and subtle creativity has consistently driven the success of campaigns and product lines that appeal to a global, discerning audience.

United by a passion for understated luxury and a profound respect for craftsmanship, the founders identified a market gap: the need for high-quality, beautifully crafted beach accessories that combine longevity, style, and accessibility. Inspired by their industry experience, they set out to create products that merge classic elegance with durable, thoughtfully sourced materials—designed to last and to be cherished.

More than just a brand, Ondinah reflects their core values. Both founders believe in kindness, towards the planet, clients, and suppliers alike.

They hope their customers share this commitment and will treat their Ondinah products with care and respect, recognizing the love and thought that go into every piece. Their aim is to promote sustainable, responsible consumption through products made with integrity, craftsmanship, and kindness at the heart of everything they do.

 

With a vision rooted in authenticity and purpose, they aspire to elevate everyday essentials into symbols of refined taste and genuine care, inspiring a community that values elegance, durability, and kindness in harmony with the environment and one another.
