Products

We hand-select designers from around the globe, that aren’t widely found elsewhere (if at all) in Australia. On each product page you will find a “Designer Profile” tab which will give you an overview of each designer. If you would like additional information, please email hello@thenowherenation.com and we will be happy to help.

As many of our styles are limited, once they’re sold out, they are gone for good. Occasionally we are able to restock so we recommend that you sign up to the stock alerts as in the event we do get more in, you’ll be notified via email if/when they’re available to buy on the website again.  

If we realise that an item is out of stock after you have placed the order, we will be in touch with you via phone or email and will refund you for the item immediately or help you swap for something else.

Since we stock a range of designers from around the globe, you will find the information on each product page in the description. To find out more about specific designers you can also look at the “Designer Profile” tab on the product page which will give you additional information.

As each product varies, you can find all this information on the specific product page under Product Description tab. We always detail all materials and where each product is crafted.

Yes! We currently stock Sylven New York which is a fully sustainable and vegan designer that crafts beautiful pieces from apple leather. We have additional vegan products from other designers and you can find them here. To learn more about apple leather as a vegan material you can click here.
