Originally starting as a menswear line in 2007 by a husband and wife duo Yuka and Yusuke Nakagawa, Nicholson & Nicholson transitioned into womenswear with a nod to menswear tailoring. The brand focuses on high-quality fabrics and craftsmanship.

The brand's emphasis on craftsmanship and the incorporation of traditional techniques sets them apart and brings a sense of authenticity and artistry to their designs. All garments are sewn by experienced seamstresses and tailors in Osaka, Japan.
