SUSTAINABILITY

RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS PRACTICES:

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 YET 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.



OUR DEEP COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY:

Simultaneously with our launch, Nomadissem received the Butterfly Mark by Positive Luxury for excellence in sustainability.

The Butterfly Mark is awarded to brands in recognition of their commitment to having a positive impact on people and the planet. The Mark identifies the luxury brands that meet the highest standards of verified innovation and environmental performance.

Nomadissem has been re-accredited in 2023 for our continual improvement, unwavering commitment and ongoing innovation in ESG+.

MANUFACTURING

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.



READY TO WEAR - TREVISO, ITALY

Nomadissem's RTW is made in a female-founded and run atelier in the province of Treviso, in northern Italy. The atelier is well-recognised in the industry for its impeccable take on Italian tailoring and attention to detail. Every garment is made and finished by hand and is a true representation of Made in Italy excellency.



SHIRTING - BOLOGNA, ITALY

Impeccable shirting is one of the cornerstones of Nomadissem. That's why we collaborate with a female-founded shirtmaker near Bologna, Italy that has a track record of 50 years in perfecting the art of shirt making. The atelier has a strong focus on craftsmanship and still uses the traditional and sartorial set-in method. The sleeves are set in by hand and details such as the buttons are sewn by hand.



KNITWEAR - DOMODOSSOLA, ITALY

Our knitwear is handcrafted in the Alpine region of Piemont, using cashmere and mulesing-free merino wool of the highest quality. The atelier follows an artisanal and couture path with all knitwear made on hand-knitting machines, resulting in a product of the highest quality and touch.

SOURCING

With the same care as we have selected our garment manufacturers, we have chosen our fabric suppliers.

We work only with distinguished and certified suppliers from Italy, Switzerland, France, the UK and Japan that demonstrate a commitment to sustainable and responsible manufacturing practices.

Moreover, the majority of our fabrics are made to order and we source all our fabrics directly from the mills, enabling materials to be traced in more detail.

We are happy to introduce below some of our main fabric suppliers.
