Say goodbye to classic A4 coloring notebooks! OMY (Pronounce Oh My!) Invented the concept of XXL coloring.
In 2012, in Paris, the two graphic designers and friends, Elvire and Marie-Cerise, had an idea of genius: giant posters from cities illustrated with family! Omy imagines and designs graphic and creative collections.
Succeed by innovating
What made Omy's great success was to have created a project that did not exist! No one had thought about them before them.
With OMY innovation, it’s not just children who have fun. It is a real creation space that takes place in the house, where everyone can express themselves through coloring.
At the start of the adventure, Elvire and Marie-Cerise participated in many events to present the brand. During one of these events, Omy was spotted by THANKS, the cult Parisian concept store. This is what gave a real boost to their visibility and allowed them to make themselves known worldwide.
Entrepreneurship as DNA
Before developing Omy, Elvire and Marie-Cerise created their own graphic design agency. Incoms for several years, the project was born directly at the end of their studies at the Arts-Deco in Paris. Both from the families of entrepreneurs, it was natural that they also embark on entrepreneurship.
5 years later, the professional routine had been a little too much installed. New mothers, they needed renewal and working for their project, not those of others. Omy is then born!
Family traditions are therefore perpetuated, and they hope to give their children to taste it ...
Creativity at the heart of the project
At Elvire and Marie-Cerise, it cogitates all the time! Both equipped with very creative minds, they change the brand to the rhythm of their ideas.
Holidays, but not only! Omy also rhymes with stickers, pencils, felts, pocket games, children's tables for children, and much more. They keep creating, with their team, and to develop the wide range of products. And, good news, all these products are available on our e-shop 😉
