If you had told me when I first launched Loste that I’d be standing in the NET-A-PORTER space, surrounded by the world’s most iconic luxury brands, I’m not sure I would have believed you. This past week, that dream became a vivid reality as I had the incredible opportunity to set up a Loste False Nails pop-up shop in celebration of International Women’s Day 2026. Seeing my designs showcased in a space that defines global luxury was a moment of pure, pinch-me magic that I will never forget.

As a solo founder, it's usually me, a mountain of orders, and a lot of late-night designing. So, to go from packing orders to chatting with the NAP team in such a gorgeous space was the most surreal milestone. It was one of those lovely reminders that the hustle (as cliché as it sounds) really does pay off.

I'm so grateful to NET-A-PORTER for the opportunity, and the thought of the office being filled with my nails is definitely a fun thought. Big brands giving small founders these opportunities is really the key to helping us grow and it was such a great opportunity for me to get my small brand out there. 

Thank you NET-A-PORTER!
