Behind the Brand

Founded by designer Natisha Waukii in Southern California, NyaMani is a brand built on faith, individuality, and sustainability. The name “NyaMani” is inspired by Natisha’s daughter and the Swahili word for “faith,” reflecting the deeply personal ethos behind every piece. NyaMani stands for meaningful craftsmanship, blending traditional techniques with modern design to create bespoke, timeless knitwear.

Collections

NyaMani’s collections redefine timeless design through elevated minimalism and intentional craftsmanship. Each piece is thoughtfully handcrafted to complement the existing collection, creating a personal wardrobe that transcends seasons. Rooted in slow fashion, the designs balance modern aesthetics with a commitment to uncompromising quality, ensuring each garment tells a unique story.
