HAPPY HOLIDAYS 💋

Thank you so much for being part of such a creative, magical, fruitful year — and another year of Nettle (!!!). 2025 was… a year. A very year-y year. I think we can all agree on that. 😉

That said, this was the first year in a long time that I felt genuinely giddy about designing again. Bringing back old favorites through our Archive Collection and watching you all get excited about “vintage” Nettle filled my heart in the best way. Truly. Seeing pieces we made years ago fill up the site felt like a little time-travel moment and made me really appreciate the brand we’ve built. Speaking of vintage… we’re turning 10 in 2026!

It was also our first year saying, “what if… shiny?” and fully committing to metallics — and wow. Turns out dressing like a disco ball is extremely good for the soul, even if we constantly get asked, “is that a raincoat?” HA. If you know me in real life, you know I’m usually pretty shy, but I’ve always been a loud dresser. This year I decided to dress even louder and finally wear the outfits my teenage self would have absolutely lost her mind over.

I’m already dreaming up what’s next for 2026… but first, we’re doing nothing. And by nothing, I mean laying completely flat for two weeks, watching all the shows, taking daily naps, and answering exactly zero emails from the couch until we’re back in the studio on January 5th.

I hope you get to rest too. I hope you nap. I hope you nap hard. Maybe even in your favorite Nettle piece, because comfy clothes are just pajamas with better PR.

Thank you for being here, for supporting size inclusive fashion, and for making this our best year in business yet!  It means everything to me.

Love,
Alex
