I am Nina Gorissen, designer, product manager and company founder.
I gave the collection my name because the production of our leather goods is absolutely my ideals and beliefs
corresponds to -that's whyNINAGORISSEN MANUFAKTUR.
For me, design is more a calling than a job.
I love the feel and smell of good, real leather.
A material that is natural and lasts a very long time.
Interesting materials, beautiful colors and shapes have always fascinated me.
As a baby, I liked to play with a potholder on which my mother had sewn different buttons.
As a child I made clothes for my dolls, later I designed and sewed clothes for myself and friends.
After school I studied fashion design in Milan and Munich.
The ideas of beautiful and special things are part of me and an urgent force challenges meto implement these ideas.The result is great joy!
I have worked in numerous international fashion companies and gained valuable experience.
The exploitation of people and nature and the careless use of the resources of our earth, which I saw in many manufacturing companies, made me take a different path.
So I started my own business in 2006 - with my first bag collection.
This happened because I was so annoyed by the search for keys and other things in my pocket that I made it my business to design a pocketwhere you can find everything right away.
A bag with a clear separation system that saves time and nerves.
The "Never Lost" bag from NiNaeLLe was born.
In 2014 I fulfilled my dream of a luxury bag collection, made in Germany.
I am not a mass consumer and prefer reflected consumption of special things that will give me pleasure for a long time.
I design bags and small leather goods for people who think and act similarly, who value the individual and who like to treat themselves to favorite pieces.Fair wages, an environmentally friendly and transparent manufacturing chain and the promotion of regional crafts are the guiding principles of my actions.
The wonderful quote from Oscar Wilde: "I have a very simple taste:I am always satisfied with the best "is the motto of my work.
That is why I live my conviction: "Design - made in Germany"!
