Unwrapping Creativity
This festive season, Nona Source materials take center stage in Paris, shining a spotlight on their creative and sustainable potential through unique events and hands-on workshops!
A festive season celebrating creativity and circularity.
NONA SOURCE x SAMARITAINE
Samaritaine has created window displays showcasing our materials as part of the “La Samaritaine: Paris m'emballe” initiative. This is a wonderful opportunity to show how our unsold fabrics are brought to life through creative and inspiring installations.
For the 2025 edition, La Samaritaine is transforming into a giant gift waiting to be unwrapped: the façade, window displays, and grand staircase are adorned with ribbons and luminous swirls, while the store's iconic peacock leaves its 5th-floor fresco to watch over visitors.
NONA SOURCE x SAMARITAINE x PIGEONCOQ
Join us for two mornings on November 24 and 30, 2025, under the magnificent glass roof on the 5th floor of La Samaritaine, at the Restaurant Voyage.
On the agenda: a DIY workshop to create your own leather charm and a discussion on the theme of “The Secrets of Leather,” an opportunity to learn more about this material and its craftsmanship.
In this bright and typically Parisian atmosphere, you can also enjoy a complimentary drink and a special moment of creativity and discovery. Reserve your place to enjoy this unique experience in the heart of La Samaritaine.
NONA SOURCE x MODART
We collaborated with Mod'Art students to design an Advent calendar made entirely from our materials.
The students were encouraged to go beyond traditional codes to explore new shapes, structures, and techniques.
This approach allowed them to experiment freely, test unexpected combinations, and rethink the object from a contemporary and responsible perspective, revealing the creative potential of our dormant materials.
LA GRANDE BRADERIE
Our Grande Braderie will be held from December 2 to 6 at Quartier Général, in Paris's 11th arrondissement. This creative event is open to all sewing enthusiasts and will showcase a selection of materials at affordable prices, as well as inspiring partners such as Shindo and PuffandPencil. It's the perfect opportunity to find inspiration for new projects, whatever your level.
The event is open to both students and non-professionals, making it accessible to as many people as possible.
Admission is by reservation only, allowing everyone to fully enjoy this moment dedicated to creativity, sharing, and discovery.
STUDENT CONTEST
Nona Source is launching a special competition for students to showcase emerging talent, chaired by Jeanne Friot.
The initiative aims to celebrate creativity and commitment to circularity by inviting participants to design projects using materials sourced from the Grande Braderie.
The prize: an invitation to attend Jeanne Friot's fashion show during Paris Fashion Week in September 2026, as well as €500 worth of Nona Source materials (certain collections excluded, full rules available on our website).
