ABOUT US

By merging our cultural horizons, we aspire to create a unified vision that combines the refined elegance and sophistication of French design with the rich artistic heritage of Indonesia. Our goal is to shape an unprecedented blend of timeless geometric styles, infused with an exotic ambiance.

​

Our mission is to support "Slow Fashion" by offering genuine, durable, and high-quality leather products while taking on our social responsibility to reduce plastic waste through the use of biomaterials (compared to synthetic or laminated leather).

​

Nuanca leather items are produced in small batches, not mass-produced. Each piece will never be exactly the same. We take pride in offering unique and timeless designs that are made to last.

Values

Our Core Values

Driven by a commitment to ethical craftsmanship, sophisticated design, and sustainable principles, NUANCA embodies a true dedication to excellence. 

1. Sophisticated Design

Our French touch is defined by its elegance and meticulous attention to detail. Furthermore, we embrace modern 3D design techniques to refine our product lines and enhance their aesthetics and functionality.

​

Materials and colors have been thoughtfully developed exclusively for our brand, incorporating traditional techniques.

 

We reimagine ancestral Indonesian patterns with a modern twist, infusing our creations with vibrance while paying homage to their roots.

 

2. Sustainable Materials

From sustainable materials to the exquisite fabrics, we want to create a harmonious blend of ecological and luxury.

​

Our leather is exclusively made using vegetable tanning process and locally sourced in Indonesia from small, family owned farms. ​

 

Choosing solid brass, and not coated or metallized material for our hardware gives also the best durability and strength

3. Inherited, Ethical and Skilled Craftsmanship

At NUANCA, we are dedicated to promoting fair labor practices in small workshops, preserving traditional techniques such as hand weaving, and safeguarding cultural heritage.

​

Our practices reflect our commitment to a fairer and more sustainable fashion industry, and we strive to be a positive force for change in the communities where we work.
