After co-founder Courtney found herself ironing clothes with a hair straightener, she and Annabel built Nori as a clothing-care brand focused on making wrinkle removal more compact and practical. The company makes the Nori Press, a double-sided steam iron that works without an ironing board, alongside tools such as the Nori Cloud handheld steamer and Nori Trim fabric shaver. Nori’s consumer-first approach is aimed at replacing the leaky steamers, clunky boards, and dry-cleaning trips that inspired its creation.
