Namai brings a playful spirit of discovery to Indian antique textile apparel design through the reinvention of repurposed fabrics.
Founder Bianca, born in England to artist parents, honed her craft at Paris’ Institute Français de la Mode before interning at a Rio de Janeiro NGO, collaborating with women in favelas to create sustainable garments.
Witnessing the colossal waste of commercial fashion, Bianca launched Namai to craft singular pieces from cherished materials, embracing garments imbued with the beauty of past lives. Drawn instinctively to saris’ chromatic textures, she partners with Indian artisans to preserve ancestral craftsmanship.
Namai believes ethical fashion begins with responsible creation. Every garment is designed in New York and handcrafted in India through family-run tailoring workshops. Limited batches forge lasting bonds with local artisans while ensuring fair income. Leftover fabrics transform into bags and accessories, honoring material circularity.
We craft heirlooms where historical richness and longevity outweigh trends
—where value lies in enduring materials and human hands. Each piece is designed to be cherished and lived in across decades.
May these wearable stories inspire you to continue Namai’s narrative through sustainable ownership, letting them become extensions of your own journey.
