Introducing: The Suits




New to nida this fall: The Suits, from Antwerp, Belgium. 

Hailing from the city that introduced so many of today's most notable designers, The Suits carries on in the tradition of Antwerp's fashion design legacy. The line focuses first and foremost on quality fabrics and sharp, forward-looking tailoring. But amazingly, for suits produced at a quality level that rivals the biggest names in fashion design, these full suits are offered at an accessible price point.

The clean, refined, fitted look of The Suits is balanced with a touch rock-and-roll.

Men: these are the suits you've been waiting for. Come in and try them on!

See you soon,

Introducing: Humanoid

New to nida this fall, the brand Humanoid perfectly complements our store's aesthetic principles. Each pieces from the collection is made of fine materials that drape beautifully while creating a mood of casual refinement.




While new at nida, Humanoid is certainly no novice in clothing design. The over 30 year old Dutch brand evolved over the years, with each new collection complementing the ones that came before. After more than three decades, they have achieved distinctiveness by staying consistent.




Their values shine through in these garments: not shouting for attention, but instead focusing on quality fabrics, contemporary design, and wearable functionality. These are the sorts of pieces that become instant wardrobe staples, layer well with everything, and in turn invite brand loyalty.

Come visit us soon, and try on some of our new Humanoid pieces! We are so excited to now carry this line, and are loving so much of this fall's collection!

Carven Pre-Fall 2012



Our first Carven shipment of the Fall season is here!

For the Pre-Fall collection, designer Guillaume Henry drew inspiration from a Diane Arbus photo exhibition in Paris. Her portraits capture the timeless, casual elegance of the 1960s, which Henry translated into garments of an equally timeless quality.

He pointed out that the 1960s was a time before prêt-à-porter. Thus, women had to wear garments for a very long time, and took care of them. This quality of craftsmanship and fabric selection shines through in the Pre-Fall collection. Definitely not fast fashion, these are pieces you can imagine wearing for years to come.

Gorgeous two-tone cable knit sweaters, perfectly tailored wool trousers, and skirts and dresses featuring voluminous yet flattering draping techniques are highlights of the collection. And the amazing mottled and felted wool coats in rich colors like royal blue must be seen and touched in person.

Visit us and try on our new Carven looks, and find out why this is a label whose reputation continues to grow in prominence.

See you soon,

Client Look of the Week

Carven continues to impress, as one of our newest and favorite brands at nida SF. This season, we fell in love with this black taffeta dress with a bow detail across the back.

Sisters Lauren and Caroline both chose this special piece for an autumn wedding!



We think they look amazing, and perfectly capture the elements we love about Carven, and this dress: simple, chic, and fun.

Neutrals with a Pop!


Here at nida SF we are all about neutrals with a pop of color! 
This "color combination" so to speak is pretty simple for anyone to pull off. Take any neutral basic, pair it with a bright colored accessory like a belt, shoe, or bag, and you've got the look down! 



      Some of our favorite pieces this season are from Isabel Marant, Closed, Vanessa Bruno   and Carven. You can never go wrong with a classic leather jacket like this one from Isabel Marant S/S '12 line. We can't get enough of Closed, their pants are easy and simple for any type of outfit, especially these "nelli" pants. Pair them with flat boots like the Isabel Marant "Jenny" boot for a casual look, or dress them up with a heel for a night on the town. Whatever the occasion may be, this beautiful Carven x Upla collaboration is perfect for holding all your must haves: adding the essential pop of color for this summer ensemble. 


                                                                See you soon!
