What to know about Nicholson & Nicholson
Womenswear built on menswear rules
It started as a menswear line and kept that vocabulary after shifting to womenswear: structured lines, oversized silhouettes, classic palettes, natural materials.
Osaka construction, traditional pattern making
Garments are cut and sewn in Osaka by experienced tailors and seamstresses using traditional pattern making and sewing methods, under the founders' own company.
Small by design, select-shop distribution
The husband-and-wife label stays deliberately small and reaches Japan, the US and Europe through independent select shops, with typical pieces near $200.
