BACK STORY
Kristine and Addison, a dynamic mother-daughter duo whose passion for an active lifestyle under the sun led to the creation of a revolutionary fashion brand. Nestled in the heart of Phoenix, Arizona, Kristine and Addison's journey began with a shared love for outdoor activities – whether it was engaging in spirited games of pickleball, strolling through the charming streets of Paris, or simply savoring a cocktail on their favorite patio.
In their pursuit of the perfect ensemble for sun-soaked adventures with friends, Kristine and Addison encountered a gap in the market. Despite the abundance of options, none quite met their criteria for a blend of fashion, comfort, and sun protection. Undeterred by the lack of suitable choices, the duo embarked on a mission to create Nini, a brand committed to designing the ideal pieces they themselves desired.
