Oh My Goddess
Oh My Goddess! has been lovingly designed by Michele and Karla, a Canadian mother/daughter duo who fell totally in love with the Caribbean and the magnificent beauty and strength of its women. Both are passionate about inspiring women of all shapes and sizes to fall in love with their bodies and encouraging them to find within, the light that they came to this Earth to be.
For too long, women have held themselves to a beauty standard that simply doesn’t fit with the true beauty that shines from within. Oh My Goddess believe all deserve to be celebrated in clothing that makes one feel like a goddess! And so our vision and purpose is to provide women with a quality garment made of 100% fine cotton gauze, light and soft and Eco-friendly, created by women in Mexico in fair and equitable conditions.
In a world that is focused on “fast fashion”, mass produced low-cost high fashion trends, Oh My Goddess garments are part of the “slow-fashion” movement focusing on the quality of garments over quantity, and favoring classic styles over fleeting trends. They are timeless and classy, manufactured specifically to our needs, and therefore minimize adding waste to the environment.
Oh My Goddess! was incorporated in 2019 and first opened its doors on the beautiful Caribbean island of Sint Maarten, right in the heart of Philipsburg on historic Old Street. We have now relocated to our new home in The Hills Residence in Cole Bay in the new 4U Real Estate complex right across the road from Pineapple Pete Restaurant.
With the ocean almost at our feet, we deeply feel the colors and rhythms of the islands and the sea and have attempted to represent as many of them in the colors of our garments and our jewelry. We invite you to come and share the magic with us.

Oh My Goddess Story
We both bring broad experiences in diverse fields which have served us well in dreaming and creating Oh My Goddess! Karla has a successful background in retail involving high-end kitchen and interior design. She owned and operated a furniture and home decor store for 14 years while my 25 years in Human Resources were a sound base for dealing with people from all walks of life. It was while living in Mexico 15 years ago that I discovered the manufacturer of the clothing line we now carry. Upon returning to Canada, I was able to access these clothes through a regional wholesaler and these styles have remained a staple in my wardrobe ever since and have become the heart and core of Oh My Goddess!
Much time was spent dreaming of creating a business together, playing with different ideas and locations until finally, in the spring of 2019, all elements came together when a friend made us aware of the possibility of doing business in the beautiful island of Sint Maarten. Having never really been to the island, we made a short exploratory trip in mid 2019 and were enthralled with the beauty of the area and excited by the potential for establishing a thriving business in the shopping core of the island. We followed our hearts and opened the main store in early December 2019. Little did we know that something called ‘Covid’ was to derail our progress for the next two years when all tourism dried out instantly. In order to generate some local supporting income, we opened a small Outlet “Oh My Goddess” to offer some styles at reduced cost. Back to the present, with the world now open to all travelers, the momentum we first expected is now becoming a reality and it is with great pride and enthusiasm that we now can share our dream with all in this E-
