Who we are

The Ör is an online concept store and journal managed bi-coastally out of Rhode Island, US, and Vancouver, Canada. The brand establishes a space for connection between consumer, designer and product, facilitating a story and purchase that is meant to be meaningful, memorable and shared. 

The Ör is a personal reflection of the interests and experiences of founders Claudia Kriz and Liliana Orlikow, showcasing internationally-sourced artists and writers, and garment, jewelry and multimedia designers.

Selections are focused on emerging designers, with ethical, sustainable and creative practices defining their mission.
