ABOUT
Heritage & Elegance in Every Stitch
Nanessence is born from two words: Nan/Nana: “a loving term for grandmother”and Essence:“the most significant element or quality of something”.
Together, NanEssence symbolizes "the heart of heritage, wisdom, and timeless style”. This hair accessories brand was inspired by the powerful influence of my grandmother, a true matriarch with Afrocentric grace and elegance. She taught me the art of sewing, a skill that became the cornerstone of this brand. Through her, I learned that style is not just about fabric or fashion; it is about identity, pride, and respect.
Nanessence reflects this legacy!

At Nanessence, we weave heritage into every hair accessory, crafting pieces that carry the spirit of generations.
