About Us
When we started Can’t Find It? Sales & Distribution Agency, way back in 2008, with over thirty years experience within the retail and wholesale industry, from cosmetics to publishing, we knew there were many products missing in the Australasian Market.
Especially those which were high-quality, on trend and well designed but were also socially and sustainably responsible.
So, the search began to carefully curate brands that were focused on artisanally handmade products that were well made, but were also environmentally friendly and ethically produced.
Searching out distributors and brands that shared our values and ethos, while designing products in styles and colours that were unique and on trend, but also timeless, so they can grow with you and your families through the years.
Now in 2020, in this rapidly changing global market, it is even more necessary to focus on developing brands that support chemical free production, organic wherever possible, using ethical and humane, artisanal and traditional practices, preserving culture and community, skills and resources.

Testimonials
It has been my pleasure to have worked with Nina since we opened our shop in 2012, stocking a number of the brands that Can’t Find It? represents.
Nina is always enthusiastic about the beautiful products that she works with and is extremely knowledgeable about their design, process and catalog .
She is a great communicator, which makes ordering a breeze, and is excellent at sending reminders for ordering deadlines, giving updates on shipments and juggling the different brands under the Can’t Find It? banner.
Clare Scholes
Co-Founder, Mondocherry
I have worked with Can’t Find It? since we launched Talo Interiors over 5 years ago, and would be happy to recommend Nina to anyone!
Nina is extremely professional and I have really appreciated how she has always communicated with me at every point throughout the sales process.
Eliza Prideaux
Director, Talo Interiors
Nina is extremely efficient, not only does she know her product, but she has sharp instincts and strong ethics. Moreover, she understands the complexities that face small businesses all whilst maintaining a clear view of the ‘bigger picture’.
I met Nina way back in 2006 not long after I opened my retail store. It was a serendipitous meeting and we’ve been working together in some form ever since. Fast forward to 2015 when I decided to close my retail store and become a distributor for We Dream in Colour jewellery, it was Nina whom I sought out for advice. It’s now 2020 and Melody Nelson has been successfully collaborating with Can’t Find It on Trade Events for the past 5 years.
