What is Noa Noa?

Noa Noa is a Danish fashion brand designing women's clothing and accessories. Its name means simple and harmonious in Tahitian, and its head office is in North Zealand, Denmark. Collections are designed in Denmark and produced by partners worldwide.

History

Brothers Harald and Lars Holstein founded Noa Noa in 1981 as a feminine alternative to the sharp, structured fashion of the time. Today the brand belongs to Mollys Collective, which also owns Odd Molly, Unmade Copenhagen, Denim Project and Noa Noa Miniature.

Products and positioning

The style is feminine, bohemian and nostalgic, with close attention to quality and detail. The range includes:

  • Dresses, blouses, shirts and tops
  • Trousers, skirts and knitwear
  • Blazers, jackets and outerwear
  • Swimwear and occasion wear

Natural materials such as wool, linen, silk and cotton are used widely, some of them certified organic. Prints are either based on antique patterns or hand drawn by the in-house print designer. The children's line Noa Noa Miniature extends the aesthetic to kids.

Distribution

Noa Noa is sold through concept stores, multibrand retailers and selected online platforms worldwide, alongside its own web shop.

Why it matters
