This is who we are…
And we want to change the
world..one stitch at a time
And we work over these pillars…
ü DURABLE ü NATURALü SOCIAL
But this is also, what any company can be…
Every product can be produced in a
more environmentally friendly way
NuoMi products are made out
of natural and recycled
products
 
We produce timeless
durable garments
Products can be designed to either
last…or not
•  Over 50% of our employees come from at
risk communities
•  Studio open after working hours for charity
beneficiaries to practice (talent pool for HR)
•  We use our communication and events to
connect the top and the bottom of the
pyramid
•  We don´t do fair trade, we do CARE trade
There´s always a way to go social…
NuoMi products are created and sold
using a socially responsible value chain
And with that pillars, these is what
we do…
	
  
	
  
	
  
	
  
	
  	
  
	
  
“I	
  obviously	
  like	
  the	
  simple	
  but	
  sophis2cated	
  2meless	
  styles	
  and	
  comfortable	
  fabric.	
  It's	
  a	
  brand	
  with	
  a	
  touching	
  story	
  
that	
  makes	
  me	
  proud	
  to	
  think	
  I	
  can	
  be	
  a	
  part	
  of	
  something	
  bigger	
  in	
  my	
  choice	
  of	
  clothing”	
  	
  (Lisa,	
  VIP	
  customer)	
  
But don´t get us wrong, we are
FOR profit
We just don´t go this way!
You are an investor as well..
