Nau (company)

Nau is a small clothing company based in Portland, Oregon, United States with a social and environmental mission. The company's "green" mission includes the use of textiles developed from sustainable fibers and fabrics, and donation of 2% of sales to community partners working to create lasting change.

On May 2, 2008, Nau announced that it was ceasing operations, primarily due to an inability to raise further capital. It has now been purchased by Horny Toad, Inc. and plans to reopen in October 2008 online and through a select number of dealer locations around the U.S..
