Henne, which Nadia founded with her sister in 2019, used to be online-only but has established a presence on the high street.

‘Pinch me moment! Our first boutique is finally here. It opens this week and seriously feels like a dream,’ Nadia told her followers when she opened her Melbourne store back in 2022.

Meanwhile, the new Sydney store boasts spacious changing rooms and large mirrors, as well as a seating area and a blue staircase that leads to another level.

Nadia’s brand has gone from strength to strength since its launch five years ago. 

The website lists its values as a commitment to women’s voices, circularity, mindful consumption, good working conditions and a positive environmental impact.

‘By ensuring each garment is designed to last, we are reducing our impact on the planet for future generations,’ it states.
