Nisa

In 2017, Nisa started out as a small underwear company in a studio workshop. Since then, Nisa has grown into a thriving fashion label located in the heart of Wellington.

Nisa was founded by Elisha Watson, who quit her career as a lawyer to provide jobs for newcomers looking for a foot in the door to the Kiwi workforce. Since then, Nisa has provided 19 women from refugee and migrant backgrounds with not only a job, but the chance to settle into life in Aotearoa, make friends, practice English and be a valued part of a team.
