In a city that never sleeps, where imagination runs wild and creativity knows no bounds, a magical collaboration unfolded: Nina New York met LoveShackFancy—and it was a match made in pastel heaven.

On December 10th, and again on March 15th and 16th, the iconic romantic fashion house LoveShackFancy hosted exclusive trunk shows spotlighting Nina New York’s handmade ribbon bow bags. Set within the brand’s enchanting New York City and Manhasset boutiques, the events offered more than a curated shopping experience—they served as a heartfelt homage to fashion, craftsmanship, and the enduring joy of girlhood.

With whimsical floral wallpaper and vintage-inspired ribbons adorning every corner, the trunk shows seamlessly wove together the fairytale aesthetics of LoveShackFancy with the delicate, handwoven artistry of Nina’s designs. Guests weren’t simply shopping—they were stepping into a shared dream.

At the heart of this collaboration is Nina Ishii, the founder and designer behind Nina New York. Celebrated for her signature ribbon bow bags, Nina pours her heart into every piece—each one meticulously handwoven, lovingly stitched, and designed to evoke nostalgia, femininity, and authentic self-expression.

“I started my brand with a simple goal: to support my dreams in New York through something I made with my own hands,” Nina shared. “Being able to collaborate with a brand like LoveShackFancy felt like being welcomed into a family that shares the same love for beauty, detail, and storytelling.”

Each bag presented during the trunk shows embodied a fusion of vintage charm and contemporary playfulness. Whether adorned with blush pink bows or touches of romantic lavender, every piece felt like it belonged in a modern fairytale—ready to complement the whimsical elegance of a LoveShackFancy dress.

Nina New York’s collaboration with LoveShackFancy also reflects a broader cultural shift: the rising demand for handmade, small-batch fashion that carries meaning. Unlike mass-produced accessories, Nina’s bags are intentionally crafted in limited quantities. This slow fashion approach imbues each piece with a sense of intimacy—and gives buyers a tangible connection to the person who made it.

“Luxury isn’t just about price,” Nina said. “It’s about care. It’s about meaning. That’s what I want my brand to represent.”

With this partnership, Nina not only expanded her audience but also demonstrated that independent designers can flourish in high-end retail environments—without compromising their authenticity.

After the success of both trunk shows, Nina New York is on a roll. More collaborations, pop-ups, and an upcoming collection are already in the works, promising to expand her signature style into new materials and colors.

Yet, what makes Nina’s journey especially compelling is how personal it remains. From one-on-one fan conversations at LoveShackFancy to unfiltered Instagram stories where she shares both struggles and wins, her brand continues to reflect who she is: a girl chasing her dreams in New York—with thread, vision, and a whole lot of bows.
