PIONEERING, FORWARD THINKING AND EMPOWERING
At Nomadissem, we have recognised the need for a system change in the fashion industry right from the outset.
With the entire value chain of the brand based on sustainable principles and processes - ranging from responsible sourcing within the closest proximity to our Swiss headquarters, designing timelessly and modularly, and manufacturing responsibly in the North of Italy to using only biodegradable, recycled and FSC-certified packaging - we aim to leave the lowest possible footprint possible.

AN EXTENDABLE AND PERPETUAL APPROACH TO FASHION
We are pursuing a more considered approach to fashion, moving away from a season and trend-driven approach to a long-term view in terms of design, consumption and the impact our actions have on the eco-system.
Every collection comprises modular and timeless pieces that are based on previous collections in order to allow our clients to expand rather than replace their wardrobe each season.
Thanks to the wardrobe's modularity as well as choosing long-lasting materials and season-neutral colours, we can ensure a greater cost per wear, offering value to our clients while limiting the damage to the environment by ensuring that our pieces can be treasured for years if not generations to come.

MADE IN ITALY EXCELLENCY
As a Nomadissem piece is built to last a lifetime, we are uncompromising in terms of quality and craftsmanship with the aim of bringing back the made in Italy excellency of previous decades.
We have carefully hand-picked our trusted ateliers in the North of Italy in order to guarantee the highest standards in terms of quality, craftsmanship and fair compensation. All our garments are developed and manufactured in the North of Italy in artisanal studios that have a track-record in true Made in Italy excellency and can guarantee the highest standards in terms of responsible business practices.
Moreover, 80% of our partner ateliers are female-founded or run businesses, an important aspect in our quest to support female entrepreneurship and businesses.

CRAFTSMANSHIP
Every Nomadissem garment is hand-crafted in one of our partner ateliers in the North of Italy, following century-long tailoring and finishing techniques.
The majority of our buttoned garments are finished with bound buttonholes - a sartorial way of crafting clean closures of the highest quality that will pass the test of time.
The same attention is given to all our seam finishings. Aiming to create ever-lasting pieces, we do not believe in overlocked seams, therefore, all our seams are either edge stitched, bound, turned or follow the sartorial French seam finishing. After all, we want to create garments that are beautiful inside out.
As the inside to us is of equal importance as the exterior, all lined outerwear is finished with internal decorative piping as well as sartorially crafted internal pockets so our clients can cherish each piece inside out.
Lastly, all our blazers follow the sartorial Napoletan way of crafting the shoulder area, ensuring the perfect fit and an elegant allure.

SOURCING
With the same care as we have selected our garment manufacturers, we have chosen our material suppliers with our sourcing efforts based on Nomadissem's sustainable sourcing policy to uphold the highest standards for materials and treatments.
Therefore, we work only with distinguished and certified suppliers from Italy, Switzerland, France, the UK and Japan, which demonstrate a commitment to sustainable and responsible manufacturing practices.
90% of our sourcing is done within a 500 km radius from our Zurich headquarters with the majority of our fabrics produced on a made to order basis. Moreover, we source all our fabrics directly from the mills, enabling materials to be traced in more detail and guaranteeing the highest quality standards.

PACKAGING
All our packaging is 100% recyclable and biodegradable.
All our customer-facing packaging is made of sustainable materials and all paper-based packaging is made either of FSC-certified or recycled materials.
