Neesh is inspired by the whimsical and beautiful world around us. Travel to special places like Paris and Jaipur, knitting comfortable and cozy in front of a fireplace, an urban lifestyle on the go visiting art galleries and farmers markets. It brings high-fashion elements and couture construction to comfortable, wearable pieces.
Interesting fabrics and textures from easy knits like Cotton Modal to lush printed Silk Chiffon layer together and are embellished with special details. Vintage buttons, exposed seams, grosgrain ribbon trims, flirty peplums and little tucks make up the true Neesh by D.A.R. look filled with whimsy and surprise.
The fit is made for real women - this is not juniors clothing. Neesh has silhouettes to flatter all body types but is perhaps most friendly to the thigh/bum/belly conscious woman. Neeshies love our swing shaped tunics and dresses.
The Neesh look can be worn with jeans and engineer boots or head-to-toe for a special occasion.
Since 2005, Neesh has operated out of a beautiful 14,000 square foot studio and warehouse in Chicago, where today many talented and hard working women are invested in creating a unique product of whimsy, comfort and style just for you. We are a Do-It-Yourself kind of group – we can be found crafting new marketing campaigns, selecting gorgeous French trims, and shipping boxes all in one day. We love our wacky workspace filled with vintage décor, creative employees and the occasional part-time canine coworker.
Since most of our clothing is produced locally right around the corner, we are able to pay close attention to the detail and quality of Neesh.
Neesh by D.A.R. has a general company philosophy of giving back. In addition to supporting local contractors, Neesh helps support the work of talented women in Peru who make our gorgeous sweaters, and through our partnership with the Merchant Giving Project. Through them, 10% of all our Credit Card processing income will go to the charity House of the Good Sheperd (a safe home and services for Chicago women and children facing domestic abuse). This means that every one of your Neesh sales will help a woman or child in need – thank you!
Neesh’s website creates a world you want to live in through our active social media accounts, style tips, Denise’s blog posts and most of all, special clothing.
