About Nic D’Andrea

The designer behind the brand, Nicole D’Andrea was inspired at a young age by the art of shoe making and repair. Her education began as she sat in awe of her great grandfather laboring in his cobbler shop, a trade he brought to America. Nicole received precious cultural heritage, work ethic and design sensibility from both her grandparents and carries this into the Nic D'Andrea collection. Nicole worked with prestigious fashion icons such as BCBG’s Max Azria and LD Tuttle. She also had the privilege of studying at Ars Suttoria of Milano, Italy; after attending The International Academy of Design in Chicago, Illinois. ?In 2017, Nicole received an incredible honor and achievement.  She was presented with the Women to Watch in business award in Rhode Island.  ??In 2018, Nicole expanded into jewelry to inspire women. She felt it was important for women to remind themselves everyday of their self-worth and to chase their dreams.  This inspired our charms to be daily reminders for all women to be the best version of themselves.  All jewelry and components are sourced and manufactured in the United States.  We donate $1 from each sale to the Girls Inc. Charity. 87 cents of each dollar donated goes directly to the girls. ??In 2019, Nic D'Andrea custom built a traveling pop-up store, and hit the road to introduce it to Nashville, TN.  Read their story
