Libby is very proud to say that the shop truly feels like a Nordic oasis in the middle of Newcastle.

Anorakki

We, Jemma and Norwegian born Silje, felt that Australia and New Zealand were missing out on a practical, versatile and durable product to wear in their Fritid (Norwegian for free time), so we searched high and low across Scandinavia to find a classic anorak. An anorak that allowed you to stay in an experience not matter the weather and was versatile enough for an urban lifestyle.

We believe we have found the perfect anorak from the Finish brand called R-Collection. They have been around for more than 40 years and they originally made this anorak for the younger more hip generation. Having stood the test of time, this timeless classic is still pretty cool. We think we have found a wearable and versatile anorak jacket that can be worn across the four seasons in Australia. We now want nothing more than to share our love of anorak jackets with you and your family for your next adventure – big or small.

Nordic Fusion

“AT NORDIC FUSION, WE AIM TO CHALLENGE THE ORDINARY AND INSPIRE CREATIVITY”.

That has become the mantra that the Nordic Fusion brand lives by and has seen us grow with our Manly and Mosman stores, as well as our online store and large wholesale distribution arm in ten years.

The inspiration behind the store was a direct response to our desire to bring the beautiful Nordic products to Australia. Our commitment to sourcing and introducing fresh Scandinavian & European design to Australia is evident in the extensive range stocked in Nordic Fusion stores and distributed to over 200 retailers across the country.

Nordic Fusion stock classics from Marimekko, Maileg, Pappelina, Klippan, Efva Attling and Normann Copenhagen, as well as cutting edge products from amazing young design houses like Muuto and Menu. If you are after the best that Scandinavia has to offer here in Australia then you can be certain Nordic Fusion has it.
