Our Story

We founded Nicoblu to take us on a journey interwoven with a rich blend of cultures we discovered on past trips to Jaipur, Portofino, Andalusia, and Marrakesh. At once glamorous, mysterious and intoxicating.

The Nicoblu woman is cosmopolitan, powerful, well read and well-lived. Nicoblu centers around pieces that fit her needs. They are sophisticated, timeless and never go out of style. Glamorous staples. Casual luxe. Unassuming taste.

Based in New Canaan, Connecticut, we design each piece to be singular and stand-alone; each has its unique story. No detail is overlooked—from the mixing of our own colors to achieve an exacting hue to selecting the right sheen of a stone on an embellishment. Each piece must be versatile, effortlessly traveling from day into night. Each piece must complement the total Nicoblu collection to fit our Nicoblu woman’s many moods. The effect is that of a highly curated collection picked up on many travels.

We produce in India–a country we intentionally selected drawn to its astounding diversity, its cultivation of beauty and mastery of centuries’ old hand-crafted techniques. The India of today is a direct continuation of the India across millennia past.

In our small way, we hope to inspire you to escape, to dream, and forge the life you love.

ABOUT THE FOUNDER

“If you dream it, you will it.” This has always been the motto of Katherine Lantuch and the driving force behind Nicoblu. Even well before she graduated from Yale, having grown up in a highly creative family surrounded by beauty and art, she knew that she would forge a path in the fashion world. For decades, she held senior roles at major fashion corporations, such as Bergdorf Goodman and Ralph Lauren. But it was the pull of her many scrapbooks and design sketches compiled on trips to far flung destinations all over the world that circled her back to a very early dream: to create apparel and accessories that empower women to dream, to dare, and to escape.
