Personal Biography
Nicky Pense
My name is Nicky Pense and I grew up in New England, a place that nurtures the resilient spirit of America. I firmly believe that a good product should be both beautiful and practical. However, even the expensive European wallets on the market are merely decorative and cannot withstand daily wear and tear, nor can they meet the needs of modern women.

Before 2024, in a cold and damp garage in Portland, Maine, I was accompanied by the salty Atlantic breeze and the aroma of full-grain leather, sowing the seeds of my entrepreneurial venture. I didn’t attend a prestigious design school; instead, I knelt among Scottish leather and Italian hardware, nurturing a bold idea: Why must luxury be fragile?

I insist on using the sustainable vegetable-tanned cowhide from the ethical ranch, and I refuse mass production. Every stitch and thread is sewn by hand, and every cut is a rebellion against fast fashion and fragile trends. The design inspiration comes from the rugged coastline and powerful industrial strength of my hometown. I also add an aviation-grade aluminum frame to ensure the shape and repeatedly test the copper hardware to ensure durability. What I want to create is not an ordinary wallet, but a “protective gear” for independent women. Please provide the text you would like translated.
At first, my handcrafted works spread by word of mouth among the discerning women in Berlin, Paris and Shanghai, providing bespoke services for the global elite. But this was very much like the exclusivity I was rebelling against. My dream was far greater than that. In 2024, I officially registered the “NJIPENS” trademark in the United States, bidding farewell to the high-end bespoke workshop, and leveraging the Internet, a symbol of equality, to make my creations accessible to women around the world who understand quality and have the courage to pursue the better. This is also a counterattack against the bloated pricing system of traditional luxury goods. Please provide the text you would like translated.
“NJIPENS” in Latin means “New England’s pursuit of excellence never stops”, embodying the spirit of the pioneers. To me, it is not merely a brand but a steadfast companion for women to chase their dreams. In the future, I will continue to hold fast to my original aspiration and let NJIPENS accompany more women in their pursuit of ambition. Please provide the text you would like translated.
