Our Story
WE’RE A BRAND EAGER TO DELIVER FASHION MADE FAIRLY IN PORTUGAL, WITH RESPECT TO THE PEOPLE AND OUR NATURAL RESOURCES. SIMPLE AS THAT.
But not really. In a traditional industry, not adapted to small businesses (let alone sustainable ones), it’s hard to believe that tradition can go side by side with sustainability… and that's where NÄZ enters.
We were born in 2018 with the mission of bringing a new light to this challenging scenario, along with amazing partners that also believe in a fair and clean way of doing fashion.
It’s never just a piece of clothing
That's our motto.
All that we creates generate impact, at Näz we try to have the least negative impact on our planet while having a positive impact on the community. Sustainability is more than a catchy word for us.
Respect for our planet

Cristiana Costa
Our founder
Cristiana is living proof that sustainability can walk hand in hand with fashion when it’s something that is truly part of your essence. While taking her degree in fashion design, at the beautiful Portuguese mountains, she felt it was the perfect time to bring together her career and her values, setting up the goal of creating a brand that respected culture, people and the planet.
Marta Matos
Our Content Curator
Found herself as a creative kid, she unawarely developed a connection with aesthetic sense what led her to pursue graphic design at college. As a nature and fashion enthusiast Marta thinks that fashion should not be fast but creatively build to last. At NÄZ, she found the perfect environment to combine brand communication, creativity and sustainability.
What's the word out there?
“I’m a personal stylist, and I have this sweater in beige. It’s been fun exploring the ways to style it! I think the length is *just perfect* because you can wear the sweater untucked, and it will look good on pretty much a person of any height.

“I discovered NÄZ while looking for a sustainable company that cares and produces clothes using natural materials. I ordered woolen trousers, it was quick, all sorted professionally.
I cannot recommend this brand enough!

“Incredible wools
I ordered two wool sweaters from Naz. They are not cheap pieces but I think it is worth it for every detail. From the manufacturing process, to the material and finishing with the incredible smell 😍 I highly recommend it!
