Bianca Kuttickattu was born in England to artist parents and raised across England and Canada. Her early love of second-hand fashion and vintage textiles laid the foundation for a career rooted in thoughtful design. After formal studies in London and Paris, she worked in couture and designed footwear for luxury fashion houses like Celine and Acne.
But the fast-paced industry left her searching for a slower, more sustainable way to create. During a pandemic hiatus, Bianca returned to making things by hand and founded Namai to celebrate repurposed textiles and traditional craftsmanship. Choosing to work with antique Indian saris also allowed her to connect more deeply with her father’s South Indian heritage.
Through Namai, Bianca merges her global design background with a deeply personal mission: to create one-of-a-kind garments that feel as soulful as they are sustainable.

Who Makes Namai
Namai garments are handcrafted in small, family-run tailoring workshops in Jaipur and Delhi. We collaborate directly with our artisan partners—many of whom have passed their skills down through generations—to ensure every piece is made slowly, ethically, and with care.
SUSTAINABILITY
We believe that ethical fashion consumption begins with responsible production. By creating our garments using entirely pre-existing, third-generation materials we honor our commitment to zero-waste design and circular sustainability.
WHAT ARE KANTHA QUILTS
Kantha is a centuries-old textile tradition from Bengal, India and Bangladesh, where women hand-stitch layers of worn saris into quilts using a delicate running stitch. These quilts tell stories—of reuse, repair, and care passed down through generations.
