New fashion in Ettalong

A new fashion shop has opened in Ettalong

Nikita is owned and operated by Sasha and Natasha Serga and was named after their 10-year-old son.

The family originally came from Russia and have lived in Australia for 11 years.

Natasha is a qualified art teacher and uses her skills to hand paint scarves as well as select colours, fabrics and styles for her business.

The business traded at The Rocks for six years and in December relocated to Ettalong Beach for the lifestyle.

The range of clothing is made up entirely of "very bright, happy colours on natural fabrics such as cotton and linen", according to Natasha Serga.

All of the scarves are hand painted on silk and are one-off creations.

The business wholesales as well retails and also does well through the internet.

"Our prices are very reasonable with nothing over $80", Ms Serga said.
