Na Nin is an ode to the power of connection — a revelation in belonging, a recognition of joy, and a celebration of kindness. It started with a sentence: “I am happy because I am with you." During our founder’s time in Korea, Kate befriended a woman who began teaching her the spoken language. “I am happy because I am with you” was the first of many translations. When spoken in Korean, “I am” is heard as “na nin.”

Launching as a vintage line in 2009, Na Nin has since expanded to include an in-house clothing and accessories line, hand-blended fragrances, and a community of independent designers.
