Onia has an ongoing collaboration with Liberty Art Fabrics, who supplies fabrics for much of Onia’s swimwear. Onia has also collaborated with Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company and other resorts to create towels for resort guests.

Onia has entered into a multi-year licensing agreement with WeWoreWhat’s Danielle Bernstein. Their recent Italy collection sold nearly $2 million in swimwear within 12 Hours. [12]

Onia runs third-party distribution among brands such as Club Monaco, Theory, Mr. Porter and Net-a-Porter. In 2019 they are launching wholesale distribution for WeWoreWhat as a standalone brand at Coterie.[13]
