Our Story

Our story begins with a legacy deeply rooted in the heart of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, dating back to the 1960s. The Nina Cheyenne Brand is more than just a clothing store; it's a continuation of a longstanding family tradition of sewing and creating expertly crafted garments.

At the heart of our story is the indomitable spirit of my mother, Barbara Anne Thomas. From a tender age, she embarked on a journey of self-discovery, teaching herself how to craft patterns from humble brown paper bags. In her nurturing hands, fabric transformed into art, and she lovingly stitched not only her own clothes but those for her four children, instilling in them a passion for the artistry of fashion.
In the 1970s, Barbara took a bold step forward, establishing her very own apparel company. Her modest basement home office transformed into a bustling hub of creativity. Through dedication and boundless talent, she crafted a success story that would become a beacon for women CEOs in the fashion world. Her designs graced the shelves of prestigious department stores and charming boutiques, leaving an indelible mark on the industry.

But life had its challenges, and in 1993, we lost Barbara Anne Thomas to cancer, a battle she fought with unwavering courage. Her legacy, however, lives on through the Nina Cheyenne brand.
*
Today, we proudly carry the torch forward, with Nina and Cheyenne at the helm. As mother and daughter, we've combined our unique styles, talents, and visions to redefine the fashion landscape. The Nina Cheyenne (Apparel Group) was born out of our shared passion for bold, sexy, fashionable, and chic clothing that celebrates the confident woman in all her beautiful sizes.
