About NainaArunima
This Brand was established as a result of an experiment. While I was working in Jaipur I designed my first set of blocks. I happened to print these designs on unusual silk fabrics from Banaras, designed by my mother. Together we collaborated and created a small collection of Hand Block printed Banaras Sarees which won praise at trunk shows in Delhi and Mumbai. I have always had an association with Indian handicrafts and textiles, having watched my mother, run her textile business. I love the world of textures and colors. My prints infused with her vast knowledge and experience with Banaras textiles is the core of this brand.
We wanted to create a line of clothes which was simple but stand out. Designed for modern women still grounded to their roots, with an appreciation for beauty, sensitivity to detail, and for someone who values the handmade. We combine comfort, quality, finesse, and classic style to create a unique expression as unique as you!Each limited edition piece is handcrafted with authentic fabrics and materials keeping in mind fair trade practices. Each piece can be altered and customized for fit.
We add to your wardrobe the luxury of good aesthetic, Beauty and Comfort as a way of life
