History

Iconic

Andy

June 2020, a time when a simple idea became a timeless icon: Andy. Tine's creative spirit was fueled by her love of tote bags, a passion that would shape the future. Thus was born a bag that would transcend mere accessories to become a faithful companion in our busy lives.

Tine designed Andy with a purpose, a functionality that embraced everyday life. The idea was simple: to provide a haven where every precious object could find its place, yet remain within reach. It was the beginning of a relationship, a story that grew with each passing day.

But the story doesn't end there. As the winds of confinement blew, a surprising encounter took place. Arnaud Journou, the painter collaborating on "Dancing with the Stars," crossed paths with Andy. Art and fashion merged, giving birth to a special version, a pop art edition that breathed an even more vibrant soul into our icon.

Just like life, Andy itself has evolved. A zipper made its appearance, a detail that speaks to the modernity and practicality of our constantly evolving era. The bag transforms and grows, while retaining its warm and welcoming essence.

What Tine dreamed of was to create more than just an accessory, but a legacy, an emotional connection. The permanent collections were born, in harmony with our beloved planet. In a world where fashion can seem fleeting, Andy remains like a shining star in the dark sky. An invitation to embrace practicality with passion, to anchor yourself in emotion, and to write a timeless story alongside Andy, your everyday companion.

Development of the range and labeling

Hazel and the OFG label

After bringing Ruben and Andy, two handbags with vibrant personalities, to life, Tine didn't stop there. Guided by her vision of conscientious fashion, she designed a new accessory, a supple and refined belt named Hazel . She thus created a harmony of matching accessories and bags, a complete symphony of elegance.

Hazel, this soft-touch belt, carefully handcrafted from genuine leather, quickly won the hearts of both men and women. The year also marked the beginning of an environmental commitment deeply rooted in Tine's values. A label, a seal of authenticity and responsibility, was born to celebrate local know-how and artisanal manufacturing. Thus was born Nodie's, the first leather goods brand to proudly display the 100% Origine France Garantie label across its entire range.

In 2021, Nodie's flourished further, participating in its first Made in France trade show in Paris. The Origine France Garantie label came to life in the heart of the fashion capital, where Tine's craftsmanship and passion shone in the spotlight. Every bag, every belt, every accessory was worn with the pride of local and authentic craftsmanship.

Hazel isn't just a belt; it's a symbol of responsible elegance, woven into a larger story. Nodie's accessories are a call to join a journey that connects beauty and commitment. This is your chance to wear art with heart, to become the custodian of fashion that has a positive impact. With Nodie's, you choose a story where elegance and responsibility seamlessly intersect, creating a future where every accessory tells a story of conscience and style.

Relocation and eco-design

Isaac

This year marks the advent of an exceptional piece, born from Tine's bold vision. Isaac is much more than just a bag; it's a work of art crafted with respect for our lands and our history. The initial concept was ambitious: a 100% French bag, with at least 90% local materials, rooted in the rich heritage of our beautiful nation.

Isaac is born with grace, becoming the essence of eco-design drawn from the roots of Romans-sur-Isère, a town where luxury leather has long resonated. Each seam, each fold recalls the rich history that has woven a network around exceptional leather.

But Tine didn't stop there. She decided to collaborate with a local metalworker, an iron goldsmith, to create a clasp of exquisite beauty. Months of development resulted in a masterpiece, a deceptively beautiful magnetic closure, a functional work of art.

Isaac is more than a bag; it is the realization of Tine's initial goal: more than 90% of the product has traveled less than 100 km , a harmonious dance between French elegance and environmental awareness. When you wear Isaac, you carry a piece of history, art, and responsibility. It is an invitation to embrace elegance with a conscience, to support a creation that honors tradition while forging links to a more sustainable future. With Isaac, every moment becomes a statement of style and integrity.

Tine

A Year of Honors and Impact

After years of determination and perseverance, Tine has made her dream of a meaningful brand a reality. In June, she was crowned with an exceptional award: "Entrepreneur of the Year 2023," an honor bestowed at the prestigious Origine France Garantie awards. On that day, the jury only underscored what we already know: her total and ongoing commitment to the certification of her entire range.

But Tine isn't stopping there. She's looking ahead with unwavering determination. She's taking on the challenge of calculating the carbon footprint of each product, a crucial step in demonstrating that Nodie's is the most responsible leather goods brand in France. And the initial results are nothing short of extraordinary. An average reduction of more than 80% in CO2 emissions compared to standard products is a tangible testament to Nodie's positive impact.

Among the echoes of this success, one jewel particularly shines: the Hazel belt. Across the vast network of the internet, it becomes clear that the Hazel belt positions itself not only as a style icon, but also as a model of eco-responsibility. In fact, it may well be the most sustainable belt in the world.

This year, Tine not only received accolades, but also made a tangible impact. The story continues, from commitment to results, and each chapter is a celebration of deep values ​​and significant progress.

Let's be responsible actors in this movement. Let's support Tine and Nodie's to amplify this momentum towards a more sustainable and elegant future. Join us to make a difference.
