Founded by Mikayla Paige, nessi grew from her return to garment design and construction, and an appreciation for the way clothes are made, worn and kept.

The brand is a quiet homage to her late mother, Vanessa, and the thoughtful approach she brought to dressing. Cherished pieces passed down, remarkable in their materials, cut and finish, continue to inform Mikayla's approach to design.

With longevity in mind, each piece is produced in small quantities from premium fabrics, with an emphasis on distinctive silhouettes and refined construction.

Pieces are designed and made in Australia in collaboration with local pattern makers and independent, family-run manufacturers, allowing close attention to each stage of development and production.
