"Quality is remembered long after price is forgotten." – Aldo Gucci, 1938

exclusivity
Catch W's with our exclusive Members Club; NOSTA intends to produce in a one-and-done fashion. Exclusive and limited, thoughtful designs and products, force our intentions when creating, to add not only a personal touch, but build products worth Investing in.
anti-fast fashion
You won't catch us producing inferior products in sweatshops in the East, or being run by suited-up board of Directors talking "Shareholder Value".
NOSTA is a passion project born from the vision of our founder, Lloyd. With meticulous attention to detail and a dedication to timeless design.
