About NNESI
Is NNESI sustainable?
No, they likely are not. According to their About page, they support and encourage sustainable practices, including the use of recycled fabrics, to minimize waste. They partner only with brands and designers that guarantee fair treatment and pay for their employees. They also allegedly donate a part of their revenue annually to charitable causes, making an effort to eradicate poverty worldwide. Since they don’t substantiate any of these sustainability claims, I am inclined to think they are green-washing.

NNESI Review and Order Details
I ordered the below items on 5/29/2023 to my address in North Carolina (United States). I paid a total of $122.97 to Dress Fashion (service@indiefit.com) via PayPal. The charge appears on my credit card statement as “PAYPAL *DRESSFASHIO”. – View Order Confirmation
1) Trendy V-Neck Mini Dress
- Color, Size, and Cost: Blue / S / $42.99
- Country: The product page states that this was made in the United States.
- Material: The product page states 35% Elastane / 65% Rayon.
Expectation: It is VERY different from what I was expecting in terms of overall appearance. While it looks similar to the product image, not only is it a brighter blue in person, but the material they list on the product page is false. They claim that it is 35% elastane, but the dress has almost no stretch to it.
Quality: In my opinion, the quality is bad but wearable. See my Quality Comparison & Rating Chart to know my current quality-rating standards.
Fit: I ordered based on the size guide provided, and it fits about 1 size too small. View my Body Measurements for size reference.
Keep or Return: I would return this NNESI dress.
While I like the thin, airy feel of the material (great for a hot day), this dress is OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive and the material is nothing like I expected. It is overall cheaply made.
2) Off-The-Wall-Printed Sweatshirt
- Color, Size, and Cost: Multicolor / M / $32.99
- Country: The product page states that this was made in the United States.
- Material: The product page states Cotton Blend.
Expectation: It is what I was expecting, for the most part, in terms of overall appearance. It is cheaper-looking in person (especially the crewneck area).
Quality: In my opinion, the quality is mediocre. See my Quality Comparison & Rating Chart to know my current quality-rating standards.
Fit: I ordered based on the size guide provided, and it fits well. View my Body Measurements for size reference.
Keep or Return: I would return this NNESI top.
While I tend to like these basic types of long-sleeved tops, and don’t expect or need premium quality, it is too expensive for how low quality it is.

Return & Refund Info
I emailed support to request a full return on June 11th. My request was not approved, as they only accept returns due to quality issues. I pointed out that they falsely advertise their clothing, and they did not seem to care. I filed a dispute/claim with PayPal on June 20th.
I went to open a dispute/claim with PayPal, and saw a message from the seller insisting that I reach out to their elevated support email to resolve the issue first. I reached out to this email, and they came back with the EXACT same response as NNESI’s support email, saying that they only accept a return if it is due to quality issues. I moved forward with filing a dispute/claim. The seller promptly offered a partial refund + keep the items. I negotiated an amount I was happy with, and the dispute was resolved.
I received the agreed-upon partial refund of $66 (the rest was previously refunded since an item was out of stock) on June 22nd and kept the items. I received the refund two days after filing the dispute/claim. – View Refund Receipt
Support Experience
- NNESI, Valanio, SSUNU, Ryabe and Orwyy are all the same seller. I had no issue returning or getting refunds for the items I didn’t like from all of the shops except for NNESI. They told me they cannot accept returns if there is no quality issue
- Regarding the out-of-stock item, they never informed me about this. I saw a refund amount of $46.99 back to my PayPal and assumed this was the reason.

Similar Sites & Analysis
According to Copyleaks (premium), the below plagiarism is detected:
- Their About page has similar content to – insummers.com, commonsent.com, suitsace.com, savedindress.com, elegsher.com, AND MORE! – View Full Report on Copyleaks.com
Additional Notes:
- Some of the product images have photoshopped patterns and designs on them. Based on my experience, the pattern/design in real life is always off whether it be the color, saturation, pattern intensity, or all three.
- The site has poorly written English. For example, “…we produced fashions for some of the best brands in the industry…”. This could be indicative of an overseas-run shop.
Do I Recommend This Shop?
Based on my experience, this company is a SCAM. While I did receive the items I paid for, and eventually got a refund in the amount I was satisfied with, there are a handful of reasons they are a scam:
- I checked the tracking number for my order with valanio.com (same seller as NNESI). A message was displayed on USPS’s site saying that counterfeit postage was used. Read Counterfeit Postage FAQ by USPS for more information.
- They refused to provide me with return approval despite success at their other shops (which have the EXACT same return policies). I even pointed out that it was due to a quality issue since they advertise their products falsely. They still didn’t care.
- Additionally, the clothing overall is unimpressive in quality, and they mislead customers by writing inaccurate product descriptions and using heavily edited product images.
To wrap up this review, regardless of my experience, be sure to read as many customer reviews as possible. If you found this post helpful in your search for NNESI clothing reviews, please consider sharing and commenting (via Reddit) below. Have a great day!
