Luxury footwear blending sustainability with timeless design
The label specialises in luxury footwear that blends sustainability with timeless design that transcend fleeting trends. Minimalist heeled sandals, sleek boots and classic loafers as well as socks.
Nomasei is a name they made up. Noma is ‘mano’ backwards, which is the Italian word for hands and' ‘sei’ means six in Italian, so it means six hands. The two hands of Marine; the two hands of Paule and the two hands of any other person participating and helping make Nomasei a reality. It signifies their collaborative process; several hands coming together around a single creative goal.
In addition to an appearance on Netflix’s hit show “Emily in Paris,” the French brand has been worn by names like Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman and Pamela Anderson. Earlier this year Sarah Jessica Parker wore the black Derby Sonics .
Three years ago when Bella Hadid appeared in public looking effortlessly cool, in a check mini skirt, heeled loafers and white crew socks, the loafers were from Nomasei and instantly became a cult favourite, selling out repeatedly over the years. Finally back in stock, they are available in every colourway, including Bella’s exact pair.
Designed in Paris, crafted in Italy
Every pair of shoes is designed in Paris and crafted in the Tuscan town of Montopoli, Italy. In a family-run luxury shoe factory that is run by the founders' three sons and employs around forty people, they exclusively produce the brand's shoes. The business shares Nomasei’s values around ethical and sustainable production. Any step that happens outside the factory occurs locally, within 35 miles, allowing the duo to move toward their goal of being a carbon-neutral company.
Instead of churning out products all year round, Nomasei launches only two curated, seasonless collections.
Paris showroom
The brand sells direct to consumers and through its Paris showroom, maintaining transparency, ethical standards, and simplified pricing. The brand has already had success with a French pop-up in Bordeaux earlier this year, as well as in New York in October 2025. Drawn to the irreverence, humour, and out-of-the-box thinking of London’s community, a first pop up has just happened in November 2025. Part of an ambitious international development strategy, Los Angeles is next on the horizon for 2026.
