About Nook and Willow:
After completing an HND in Footwear/Accessories design and manufacture at the renowned Cordwainers College, London, Nina Halliwell spent ten years living and working in London before deciding to leave it all behind and move back to her hometown of Liverpool to pursue an exciting new venture alongside her best friend Clare Wilson...
Clare Wilson studied at Wigan College of Art and Design where she obtained an HND in Textile Design in 1995. After a career in high power sales and customer services she teamed up with Nina and together they combined their skills and knowledge to create the Nook & Willow concept.
After a lot of groundwork, market research, design development and dedication, they found the time was right to launch the label Nook & Willow...
Nook & Willow strive to create what every woman wants... the ultimate accessory! The company was launched in 2004 as a result of the fashion accessories market being flooded with carbon-copied, unimaginative, mass-produced design.
