Almost of our suppliers would put our brand on the products if we asked them to (they often ask us if we want that), but the whole concept of NoMan is to bring transparency to customers, show them who makes the stuff you're buying. Hiding all that behind a house brand tag is what most retailers do to "protect" themselves from competing retailers - but that's not what we're about. We'll continue to spec stuff we like and collaborate on designing great products but we don't intend to hide who the makers are - we like the transparency.
Sure, some may go and buy the same products we sell (often even brands we've introduced to the internet shopper) from another vendor to save a few bucks, and that's fair I guess, but other customers are quite loyal and give credit (i.e. orders) where credit is due.
