About Noa Noa Canterbury
Adrian and Nicky Ingoldby began their career in the fashion industry on a stall in the famous Portobello Road Market in London ,selling vintage clothes. Settling in Whitstable on the Kent coast, they opened a small shop called The Clothes Horse in Harbour St.,which over the years has expanded and continues to sell Noa Noa and other brands. Recognising the strength of the Noa Noa marque they were one of the first in the UK to open a concept store,Noa Noa Canterbury, in 2005.The key to the shop’s continuing success has been the great collections produced by the Noa Noa designers combined with a real emphasis in Noa Noa Canterbury on customer service and staff with a real passion for their product. Our loyal band of regulars continues to grow and in recognition of this we now have an online presence for both information and online sales.
Noa Noa The Brand
Noa Noa was founded in 1981 by Harald Holstein. His brother, Lars, soon joined the company and together they developed Noa Noa into what it is today: one of Denmark’s leading fashion labels.
Noa Noa designs are characteristically delicate and feminine ,using natural fabrics such as silk and cotton,exquisite detail and bohemian but wearable themes. Noa Noa nostalgically looks back in time giving vintage designs a modern twist.
The word Noa Noa comes from the French artist Paul Gauguin’s travel journal of the same name. It is used at the end of the first chapter to describe the intoxicating scent of the Tahitian women upon his arrival. Noa Noa literally means ‘Fragrant, fragrant’.
