Omaha Beach Original is a Norman brand.
It was created in 2017 by a couple who lives and works in this beautiful French region since 24 years.
Every year in Normandy, several million people visit the D-Day landing beaches. Some have traveled thousands of kilometers to see Omaha Beach, Utah, Sainte Mère Eglise. It’s not uncommon to come across World War II veterans who want to return to the places where they fought. It’s also not uncommon to meet people who want to tread the ground on which their ancestors died in battle. On the beaches of Normandy, many families want their children to discover this page of History, one of the most important of the Second World War.
Visiting the landing beaches is always an emotional moment.
It is like making a pilgrimage because there is contemplation and emotion.
Those who know this place can testify that there is a special atmosphere.
The founders of Omaha Beach Original, who are adopted Normans, have always been fully aware of this.
That is why their first desire was to create a brand that respects this unique place.
What does Omaha Beach Original have to offer ?
To stand out, the Omaha Beach Original brand offers sober and quality t-shirts that respect history and that honour the soldiers who fought in Normandy.
The Normandy landings were above all courageous men, battalions that fought like lions, commanders in chief who developed a plan of attack, facts of war and sentences that will remain forever etched in history.
That’s what you find on the Omaha Beach Original t-shirts.
That’s why an Omaha Beach Original T-shirt is the best souvenir there is.
Why Original ?
Because our products are out of the ordinary.
All our t-shirts are unique.
Above all, we want to stand out from all the t-shirt models that are systematically sold in all the souvenir stores near the landing beaches.
Every year we create a new range which distinguishes us from other brands.
Our goal is to create t-shirts that appeal to all generations.
To sum up, we have created a fashionable and trendy collection, a collection that respects History.
All our products are designed in Normandy and printed in Europe.
Finally know that a particular importance is of course brought to the quality and the thickness of the fabric. And the quality of print too !
Omaha Beach Original is more than just a brand
Creating a trademark on the landing makes no sense if it is not accompanied by an act of gratitude.
Even today, it is important to thank the American soldiers for their bravery.
How can we not also think of all those who died on the Normandy sand so that freedom, our freedom, could live on ?
For Omaha Beach Original, thanking the soldiers of yesterday is to provide support to the soldiers of today, especially those who find themselves in difficulty.
This has been the will of the founders of this brand since the beginning.
The whole project was built around the idea of concrete help for American Veterans.
In 2017, the Mayor of Saint Laurent sur mer (Omaha Beach site) was the first to support us. Very sensitive to the charitable purpose of this action, he accepted that a stand be set up in his town, not far from the statue “the braves”.
From the first year, thanks to this agreement, a small donation was made to an American veterans’ association based in Boston.
Starting in 2019, Omaha Beach Original has decided to support Thank a Vet, a Philadelphia-based association that provides concrete help to veterans. A true partnership has been established, as our brand has committed to donating a portion of its profits to this American association.
And since 2024 we’ve decided to help other associations.
Our wish is to be able to support Veterans who need help
For 7 years, Omaha Beach Original has been growing. 3 important museums now trust us : the Airborne Museum in Sainte Mere Eglise, the D-Day Museum in Utah Beach and the D-Day Omaha Museum in Vierville near Omaha Beach. All these museums appreciate the design of our tshirts and our approach towards Veterans who need help.
Omaha Beach Original also has the support of American Veterans we met on the landing beaches or near the WW2 Memorial in Washington. They support our work and talk about our brand whenever they can. Some of them also make donations to Thank a Vet.
Thank you for taking the time to read the history of our brand.
Please feel free to visit the websites of the American associations we help. They need donations to take care of the Veterans.
Now all you have to do is discover our beautiful collection !
