Nicole Van Dyke

Nicole Van Dyke is a fashion and accessories brand founded by an American designer whose career began while she was studying at New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology. Now based in Paris, the brand creates limited-edition pieces made by French and American artisans. Its guiding principles are desirability, collectability and sustainability, with a focus on giving existing materials a new life.

The collection includes handbags in various sizes, with interchangeable handles for different ways of carrying them, as well as computer and tablet cases, wallets, organisers, eyeglass cases and coin purses. Nicole Van Dyke also offers one-of-a-kind and small-series ready-to-wear fashion, shaped by distinctive fabrics, lace, trims and embroidery. Handwoven collections, developed in collaboration with the designer’s mother, feature cotton and linen for summer and wool for winter, alongside vintage leather and signature linings.

The brand sources vintage and other existing materials gathered through the designer’s travels. Based in Boulogne-Billancourt, France, Nicole Van Dyke ships internationally. Purchases are wrapped in an organic cotton tote bag, intended for reuse.
