Nolistory
I'm Norah, a modern woman! Active, mother of two boys and passionate about running.
A marketing director in the fashion industry, I moved to Nice in 2007 and, after the birth of my second son, took up running again. The trails of the French Riviera are magnificent!
Over time, I've become increasingly passionate about running and
I regularly sign up for races:
First 10km, then half-marathons and then my first marathon, the famous Nice-Cannes !
As an accomplished athlete, a small anecdote has somewhat disrupted my daily life. My youngest son, who is preparing to come and support me during my first half-marathon, discovers me dressed in my running clothes and gently whispers to me that he does n't understand why I have to dress up to run and can't just be myself?
It is indeed difficult to find women's running gear that combines comfort, technicality and style!
It was only natural that I decided to launch Noliju , my activewear & trendy clothing brand , in the spring of 2016 .

NOLIJU, a French brand…
Born from the world of running, Noliju offers today's women trendy and technical activewear that allows you to be chic both on the go and in the city. From the very beginning of Noliju, it was essential for us to offer quality clothing with a strong ethical commitment.
The importance of ecology in our society is a subject at the heart of our concerns. Our consumption is therefore becoming increasingly mindful in order to protect our environment and our future. At Noliju, we use several approaches to contribute to this effort: local manufacturing and sourcing, the versatility and durability of our products, the integration of recycled or bio-based materials into our manufacturing process, and the option to purchase our items through a pre-order system to limit overstocking.
Strong commitments to an economy
Reasonable & Reasonable
We have chosen to use only fabrics sourced from the European Union. Noliju is very proud to include many French fabrics in its collections. These choices allow us to offer high-quality products, both in terms of the materials themselves, whose origin we can verify, and in the impeccable finishing of the finished garments. We work with reliable and certified partners who guarantee not only product quality but also respect for working conditions. This also allows us to be more responsive and offer shorter delivery times.
We wanted our fabric manufacturers and production facilities to be as close as possible to our headquarters on the French Riviera. This allowed us to use road transport rather than air freight, significantly reducing our carbon footprint thanks to the short distances to our Riviera headquarters. We then handle the shipping of your packages ourselves, directly from our headquarters. This way, we limit the environmental impact generated by the much more polluting modes of transport traditionally used by the fast fashion industry.

Respect is in the air…
Producing technical, eco-responsible clothing in France and Portugal using premium French and Italian fabrics allows us to offer high-quality products at a fair price that reflects social and environmental costs. This is our first responsible step towards more sustainable and green fashion. For example, our Aventurier swimsuit, the flagship piece of our latest season, was made entirely from recycled fabric sourced from old fishing nets recovered from the Mediterranean Sea.
Econyl is a 100% recycled and recyclable nylon fiber made from plastic waste collected from landfills and the oceans. It is an eco-friendly alternative to nylon, helping to reduce air pollution and damage to aquatic ecosystems.
Indeed, to produce this fiber, abandoned fishing nets found at sea must be recovered, representing 10% of the polluting waste on the ocean floor, along with bottles, industrial plastic, and fabric scraps. This waste is retrieved, cleaned, and recycled to extract as much nylon as possible. Through a regeneration and purification process, the nylon waste is recycled back to its original form and transformed into a new textile yarn, Econyl. This fiber allows for the creation of new recycled and recyclable garments at the end of their life. It is important to note that the technical properties of this fiber are the same as traditional polyamide, with excellent elasticity and strength. Thus, products made from this fiber are perfectly suited for everyday or athletic wear. #NolimitJustU
We craft our pieces using natural materials like organic cotton for our conical t-shirt emblazoned with our mantra, "NoLimitJustU." Cotton is currently a crop that requires a lot of water and pesticides. By choosing organic cotton, we opt for a raw material grown without fertilizers and chemicals, and with less water.
The majority of our technical fabrics are Oeko-Tex certified, meaning they are free of substances toxic to the skin and the environment.
Ultimately, we want all the fabrics we select to be recycled or bio-based and systematically have Oeko-Tex certification.

Noliju, a unique concept for multiple uses
This eco-responsible approach also guided us in the design of our collections, with pieces designed to be versatile and usable in different situations. Indeed, the lines between sport and fashion are increasingly blurred, and we wanted to design pieces that allow for a smoother transition between the two.
No more constantly changing your clothes. It's a more thoughtful way to buy garments that you won't just wear once, for a single occasion. Furthermore, high-quality fabrics and construction mean clothes that last and stand the test of time. Buying less to buy better is also a way to help the environment… without sacrificing style and elegance, of course!
Pre-orders, to better manage our stock
We also offer a new way to consume our products through a pre-order system. It's important to understand that for each collection, we order estimated stock levels, which are themselves linked to the minimum quantities a workshop agrees to produce. The resulting overstocking is a scourge for the environment, and to avoid this, we offer pre-orders, as we did for our flagship piece, the Ultimate Pants, and our Adventurer swimsuit. How does it work? We present the concept of our product to you in advance through photos and videos, and you commit to a limited time (usually one month) by pre-ordering the product if you like it.
This allows us to be sure you like the product and thus order the exact quantities needed for its production, avoiding harmful overstocking. We therefore want to involve you more and develop this sales system by offering it to you regularly for your enjoyment and with respect for the environment. Thus, over these first four years, we have evolved Noliju to create a brand that reflects you and is committed to issues essential for the future. We will continue to grow with the convictions that unite us, and we thank you again for the support you give us every day.
