Good everyday clothing does not need to be complicated

Pieces from the Nosvra collection photographed in the studio

Our story

Nosvra was created around a simple idea: good everyday clothing does not need to be complicated.

We started in 2019 with a single rail in a shared studio in Jhamsikhel, selling shirts we had made up locally because we could not find the fit we wanted ourselves. The shop came three years later, on the same street.

We focus on practical silhouettes, dependable materials and pieces that work beyond a single season. The range stays small on purpose — around twenty pieces at a time, so we can actually answer questions about every one of them.

How we choose

Everything is sampled and worn before it goes on the rail — usually for a few weeks, through actual washing. If a shirt loses its shape or a seam puckers after three washes, it does not make it into the shop, however good the sample looked.

We favour natural fibres where they make sense: cotton poplin and jersey, washed linen, merino blends for knitwear, full-grain leather on bags and belts. Where a synthetic genuinely performs better — a water-repellent shell, a moulded footbed — we use it and say so.

Prices reflect what the piece costs us plus a margin we can explain. There is no inflated original price waiting to be discounted later.

What to expect

Honest sizing advice

Send us your usual size and what you are between, and we will tell you which to take — including when the answer is that the fit will not suit you.

Try before you decide

The shop in Jhamsikhel has everything on the site. Exchanges within seven days with tags attached, no questions asked.

Small, restocked range

The core pieces come back every season rather than disappearing, so a shirt you like can be replaced in two years.

Repairs, not replacements

We will re-stitch a strap or replace a button for free in the first year. Bring it in and leave it with us.

Not sure about a size or a colour?

Message us with your measurements and we will tell you honestly which size to take — or whether the piece is worth it for you at all.
