Say hi to Nicobar 👋 Our offering for Notting Hill Carnival 2023 is inspired by the Nicobar Pigeon. The Nicobar colour palette evokes the iridescent plumage of our exotic bird, native to the Nicobar Islands found in the Indian Ocean. The Nicobar premium section has been designed by an exceptionally talented carnival designer based in Trinidad & Tobago @alejandro_x_alejandro and we are super excited for him to be making his Notting Hill Carnival debut with us. We launch on 03.12.22 and once registration opens all costumes will require a 40% deposit, further payments can be spread until 01.05.23. We have a few pre-registration spaces left so head over to the website and snap these up!
