Our Beginnings
Hailing from a playground that is equal parts untamed wilds and urban jungle, we embrace the slow, the real, choosing well, and caring more.
Nash+Banks emerged from a desire to navigate the world of conscious living. Founded in 2018 by Niccii Kugler, our story is rooted in a deep commitment to redefining the norms of consumption. Inspired by experiences in the cloud forests of Costa Rica and fueled by a growing awareness of overconsumption, Niccii embarked on a quest to discover and support brands that resonate with purpose and integrity.
What she discovered was an inspiring community of change-makers, innovators and artisans dedicated to rewriting our future and creating products with purpose.
Nash+Banks is a loving curation of these conscious wares, a celebration of beauty, innovation and care.
Conscious Curation
From our base on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, we handpick brands from across the world that are committed to having a positive impact. No greenwashing here.
Our approach to curation is meticulous and intentional. It is important that we create a clear distinction between brands that are using sustainability and slow living as a marketing tool and those that genuinely live and breathe this ethos.
For that reason, we get up close and personal with all of the brands we feature to ensure their purpose, process, and products deliver against one or more of the eight core Values we are guided by.

Considered Business
Our focus at Nash+Banks is on delivering a positive impact on people and our planet. From our operations to our partnerships, we're committed to minimising our environmental footprint and maximising our positive impact.
From switching to paperless receipts in our head office and physical store, implementing a business-wide zero-waste policy, and partnering with sustainable banking and service providers, to incorporating a carbon offset program, and ensuring we partner with ethically responsible stakeholders, we regularly evaluate all aspects of our business with a commitment to continuously evolve our business for the better.
Supporting Our Community
Community lies at the heart of everything we do. We're passionate about fostering connections and empowering change-makers.
Since the launch of Nash+Banks, we are honoured to have partnered with i=Change® to donate $1 from every sale through our online store to support projects that have a tangible impact on the empowerment of women and children, as well as the environment.
We donate. You choose where it goes!

Reducing Our Footprint
Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond product selection. We're constantly exploring innovative ways to reduce waste, minimise emissions, and promote responsible consumption. From our packaging choices to our shipping practices, we're dedicated to leaving a lighter footprint on the planet.
As such, all orders sent from Nash+Banks are packaged in FSC-Certified cardboard boxes, compostable mailers or envelopes that are made from recycled materials that can be composted or recycled again. We use biodegradable tape and either recycled paper, Hex-Wrap or biodegradable cornstarch packing peanuts for fragile items.
All Nash+Banks marketing material is made from FSC-Certified, biodegradable or recycled materials.
As much as possible we also reuse our shipping materials and those that we receive from our suppliers until they break down and then recycle them.
Depending on the delivery location, over 95% of our orders to customers are delivered by either Australia Post, who have 100% carbon neutral deliveries, or Sendle, who are 100% carbon neutral and B-Corp certified.
