Our Story...Thus Far

NostalgiaNique

Embracing the Past, Working in the present, Inspiring the future

NostalgiaNique, since 2023, is a brand that artfully combines the charm of yesteryears with the vibrancy of contemporary design. Founded with a passion for bringing the beauty of the past into today's world, NostalgiaNique offers a unique collection of Antique and Vintage products that evoke a sense of nostalgia while meeting modern expectations for quality and style. We are not your usual Antiques Shop but rather strive for a higher purpose than just selling second hand good - we are a high-end luxury boutique store that respects every person and every piece we have the fortune to meet and have.

Our brand’s emphasis on storytelling allows clients to connect with products on a personal level. Our chosen and very recognisable corporate colours of Ivory in the background is a reminder of "when we get it wrong" with over poaching of gorgeous animals for Ivory products that lasted for centuries using cruel and unsustainable methods and minimal accountability. The Green in foreground is our aspirational goal of making the planet healthier and inspiring a new future of sustainable practices, encouraging re-use, re-purpose and recycling.

At the heart of NostalgiaNique is a commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail. Each item in our collection is thoughtfully selected to capture the essence of classic aesthetics, from vintage-inspired home décor to timeless fashion accessories. Our products are not just a nod to the past but to integrate seamlessly into modern lifestyles.

NostalgiaNique is dedicated to sustainability, ensuring that our pieces not only preserve memories but also protect the future. By using eco-friendly materials and ethical production processes and minimal wastage of resources, we strive to minimize environmental impact while delivering high-quality restored products. This commitment to sustainability resonates with today's conscientious consumers who seek to make a positive difference in the world.

Each item tells a story, inviting individuals to reminisce about fond memories or create new ones new astounding ones that last a lifetime. Whether it’s a modern mid-century piece, near flawless ornate furniture or jewellery or a classic home decor, NostalgiaNique’s offerings serve as a bridge between generations that add texture and life to your spaces.
