About Us
Find out more about us- why we exist, how we got to where we are today, and what's coming next.
Our purpose
We are more than an e-commerce platform; making something requires consideration, patience and heart. This lives and breathes through us & our Partners in all we do together.
We believe in a future - no matter how far away - where small brands together give big corporates a run for their money.
Our Partners are passionate about their craft, their materials, their skills, their processes. About the joy they bring when something arrives that has been planned, designed, selected, crafted, packed and delivered with care. And we are passionate about sharing them with customers and about their success. Together, we have purpose.
Because passion, purpose and a meaningful future should be for the many, not for the few.

Our Values
At NOTHS, we've got four values which guide everything we do. By living and breathing these values, we're able to move at pace, whilst being thoughtful and intentional.
Act boldly
We have courage and conviction. We think big, dare to try, and take risks.
Be speedy, not perfect
We’re nimble, take ownership, and move at pace to achieve our goals. We act, then use learnings to refine.
Champion team spirit
We’re playful and compassionate. We trust each other and raise each other up. All for one and one for all.
Stay focused
We keep the main thing, the main thing. We prioritise, react to change, and don’t get distracted.
Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
NOTHS is committed to embracing and encouraging our employees’ uniquenesses.
Whether this is in age, people with disabilities, ethnicity, family structures, gender, LGBTQ+ identity, lower income backgrounds, race, religion, the intersectionality or all/any of these and other aspects making us who we are. We take pride in treating all of our employees fairly and we want our people to feel respected, valued and recognised within the workplace.

Equity
We want all employees to have fair and equal access to opportunities for growth, development and career advancement, without feeling discriminated against because of their background or personal circumstances.
