We are 2 moms who created a fashionable kids clothing line to solve challenges we and our friends had in in kids shopping. The idea turned into a brand, Nish. We thrive to come up with collections like Magic Switch that offers versatile clothing to solve the limited usability of kids ceremonial clothes. By just removing or adding an accessory, girls outfits changes from ceremonial to casual; and by a flip or twist boys outfits transform into new looks. How Cool is that?
And together, we are the moms behind Nish, a kidswear brand that’s more than just clothing; it’s a celebration of family bonds, passion, and the strength of women.
Our journey began with a vision—to create something that honors our Rwandan heritage while uplifting the women in our community.
We met in highschool in 2008 and immediately bonded, mostly over the fact that we had similar struggles with family issues at the time and also because we loved fashion. We dreamt of one day creating our own fashion brand and in 2015 that dream became a reality. We founded Nish , a pioneering Made in Rwanda kidswear brand that emerged from our shared vision and motherhood journey.
Having lost our own mothers at a young age, we were forced to take on familial responsibilities early in life. These personal experiences shaped our vision and mission for Nish.
Through Nish, we aim to help fellow mothers easily acquire fashionable clothing choices for their children’s wardrobes while providing skills training and employment opportunities to vulnerable women.
Nish is a brand that embodies resilience and adaptability. It began as an adult clothing line in 2015, but soon discovered a passion for hand crocheting. After honing this craft for three years, Nish pivoted to kids clothing in 2021, adding a unique crochet touch to its designs. Along the way, Nish learned and grew as a made in Rwanda kidswear brand, with a vision of providing quality clothing and accessories to children across Africa and the world. Nish is more than just a shopping destination; it is a platform that creates family-friendly experiences and offers a curated selection of kids essentials.
Our mission is to empower women in two ways: by offering moms a convenient and quality shopping experience for kids essentials, and by providing skills and employment opportunities to women from vulnerable backgrounds, as we once were. We want to help them achieve a better and dignified life for themselves and their families.
