OUR STORY
Nicki Hoyne launched her first collection of crossbody camera bags in October 2020.
She followed in 2021 with her footwear collection.
Inspiration
Nicki is passionate about creating meaningful fashion accessories that are fun, unique and comfortable. She wants to inspire you to celebrate and cherish fashion not just consume it and throw it away.
The collection brings you fun, quality designs with a conscience. We celebrate individuality, vibrancy and a passion for well made, slow fashion products.
Quality
Nicki Hoyne is handmade in Spain and Portugal by master craftspeople. All materials are sourced as close as possible to the factories. Our suppliers are Leather Working Group (LWG) certified and our recycled materials are certified Global Recycled Standard.
We continue to research and improve our practices in pursuit of becoming a fully sustainable brand.
OUR MISSION
Nicki Hoyne exists to empower women, those who create our shoes, those who wear them, and the communities they shape.
We design slow-fashion pieces that honour people and the planet, ensuring every step of our supply chain is fair, transparent, and kind.
By pairing timeless style with conscientious production, we create space for women to rise together, express themselves confidently, and drive positive change.
