Hey there — I’m Nai, the founder of Tide & Tailor.
I started this brand after moving to coastal North Carolina, hoping for a fresh start and a slower pace. I grew up loving the ocean — the sound of the waves, the smell of salt air — it’s always been where I’ve felt most at peace. But I’ll always have New York in my veins — the drive, the grit, and the creative edge that shaped me.
Tide & Tailor was born from those two worlds colliding — the calm of the coast and the energy of the city. It’s more than just clothes to me. It’s about finding balance, embracing change, and creating something that feels real.
Every design tells a little piece of my story — of starting over, chasing dreams, and learning to love the in-between. Whether you’re catching a sunrise by the ocean or chasing a deadline under city lights, I hope Tide & Tailor reminds you that you can be both — the tide and the tailor.
— Nai 🤍
