Henne, which Nadia founded with her sister in 2019, was previously online only but has established a presence on the high street.

‘Pinch me! Our first boutique is finally here. It opens this week and really feels like a dream,” Nadia told her followers when she opened her Melbourne store in 2022.

Meanwhile, the new Sydney store features spacious dressing rooms and large mirrors, as well as a seating area and a blue staircase leading to another level.
