What Nona Source does

Nona Source is LVMH's dedicated circular design platform, founded in 2021 and headquartered in Paris. It applies fashion-industry textile reuse principles to transform surplus and offcut materials—primarily denim—from LVMH-owned luxury fashion houses into decorative packaging components for beauty and lifestyle products. The core offering involves sourcing upcycled textiles, processing them through techniques including dyeing, embossing, embroidery, and gold screen-printing, and supplying the resulting cases to luxury brand partners.

The platform's flagship commercial engagement to date is the Spring 2026 Blooming Denim makeup collection with Guerlain, which uses upcycled denim offcuts to produce decorative cases for the Rouge G refillable lipstick line and extends into Guerlain's broader 2026 skincare, fragrance, and lifestyle portfolio. Nona Source operates as a B2B vertical platform serving luxury beauty brands, with a single primary customer segment and no disclosed external pricing or revenue model.

As a wholly owned subsidiary of LVMH, Nona Source sits within the conglomerate's LIFE 360 environmental program and benefits from parent-company capital, strategic direction, and privileged access to LVMH's portfolio of fashion houses as both material suppliers and potential customers. The firm remains small (1-10 employees), with no independent funding rounds or external investors disclosed.
