FAQs
Who makes the Nini beaded bags and accessories?
My own hands! Each Nini creation is designed, assembled, and packaged by me, Inès—a native from Bordeaux, Parisian by heart, and recently Berlin-based Frenchie.
How are prices fixed?
At Nini, each bag, pouch, vase, soliflore, and accessory is designed, crafted, finished, and packaged by hand. The price of each creation reflects the cost of materials, but also the time spent in production (between 3 and 9 hours for a Nini bag). Care and attention to detail are core values at Nini, offering an alternative to the fast-fashion market.
How can I be sure of the quality?
Each Nini creation is woven with ultra-strong thread that can support up to 5kg. Each bead is threaded and knotted to the next with meticulous precision, ensuring a high-quality product made to last over time and for years ahead.
How do I care for my Nini bag, pouch, or accessory?
The beads are made of acrylic (except for the glass beads used for earrings and candle holders), which makes them resist water and rough weather! Nevertheless, it is recommended to avoid impacts to protect your Nini creations, and limit long exposure to heat and sunlight. In fact, if left under heavy sunshine for too long the color intensity of the beads risks being affected.
Regarding Candle Holders, make sure the candle is out before it reaches the piece to avoid damaging the holder. Wax can, however, be removed with hot water, and the holder should be washed by hand.
Is international shipping available?
Yes, international shipping is now possible! Having recently relocated to Berlin, Nini now offers delivery across Germany, throughout Europe, and worldwide. Naturally, Nini continues to ship to France as well.
How long will delivery take?
For available pieces, as listed here, orders are dispatched within 2 to 3 business days after confirmation, so expect 3 to 6 business days for delivery in Germany and up to 10 business days for shipping across Europe and globally.
For bespoke or made-to-order items (bridal bags, custom creations, duplicates), please allow at least 1 to 3 weeks, from order to delivery, as special materials may have to be sourced to proceed with design production.
I represent a store, I plan a pop-up, or I organize events and would like to showcase or sell Nini creations.
Nini has already participated in numerous exhibitions and showcase events. Currently, some of the Nini designs are at the Centre Pompidou shop and with other retailers, shops, and concept stores. I would be delighted to discuss a potential collaboration! Please contact me at heyninishop@gmail.com or on Instagram.
I live in Paris and would like to pick up my order directly from your studio.
Nini has relocated to Berlin, so in-person pickup in Paris is no longer possible. However, shipping deliveries are handled with efficiency, and you can find Nini creations at three Paris locations: the Centre Pompidou boutique (4th arrondissement), the Maison Mirabilē florist (18th), the Célestine Morel florist (20th), and CAYU Canidés Club (19th).
