Vegan leather is the house signature

Nanushka built its name on vegan leather, and the Hide puffer jacket was the item that broke the label out; outerwear remains what it is known for.

Budapest, not Paris or Milan

Founded in Budapest in 2005 by Sandra Sandor, who still runs design alongside CEO Peter Baldaszti, and only debuted at New York Fashion Week in 2025.

Muted palette, fluid cuts

Expect creams, chocolates and earth tones across fluid tailoring and knitwear, with the brand's spend going into low-impact materials and fabric development.

How nanushka fits

Overall fit

runs large

Nanushka pieces are typically cut with generous, drapey volume, so garments tend to wear a size larger than a standard contemporary fit, particularly outerwear and knitwear.

Tip: Most shoppers do best taking their usual size only if they want the intended oversized look — size down one if you prefer a closer fit.
