The story so far...

In a spare bedroom somewhere in South East London, Olive&Moss launched during the summer of 2007 with a simple capsule of just 10 designs. Designer Nina Clarke (now Govan following her marriage last September to her new hunk husband!) found that customers were instantly drawn to the simplicity of the designs with their simple graphic style, quirky retro twist and sweetly serious expressions.

From the very beginning, Nina had an unwavering vision for Olive&Moss that steered away from traditional pinks and blues, and opted for a more unisex palette with clean, bright and contemporary tones. Coupling this concept with Nina’s strong entrepreneurial spirit, the past two years has seen Olive&Moss grow from strength to strength as her fresh, light-hearted designs continued to win round more and more people. The ‘year-round’ collections proved ideally placed for any occasion and perfectly tailored to the gift market.

Olive&Moss and all the friends are now stocked in over 200 stores across the UK, with a growing European presence and can even be found in the Middle East. Nina also works successfully alongside card company www.nineteenseventythree.com who recreate her animal character designs and have won contracts with John Lewis, Waterstones and Oxfam. Woo!

Nina and her growing team are now settling into their new studio in West Dulwich and look forward to another successful year!
