The story
Founded in 2016 in Stockholm as a minimalistic phone case brand inspired by travels in Hong Kong, NUDIENT began with a single hero product—the Original Thin Case. Over time it expanded into a full DTC accessories brand covering screen protectors, AirPods cases, and eventually luggage and travel bags, distributed globally across 30+ markets. Its embedded finance footprint is minimal: Mollie is the confirmed PSP for European markets; the company runs on Shopify, which underpins its multi-currency, multi-locale storefront.
