Come find your one-of-a-kind, forever piece and shop a selection of Namai Quilted Jackets & Accessories at Wull & Oak for the weekend! Namai is an independent, New York-based fashion brand founded by Bianca Kuttickattu in 2020. Creating timeless, zero-waste clothing from repurposed antique Indian textiles that can be worn by people of all genders, all year round.
Namai designs celebrate bold textile traditions, circular design, and slow fashion. Each garment begins with a storied material—antique quilts, saris, or hand-loomed cotton—hand-selected for its beauty and soul. Designed in New York and crafted in India, these pieces are a bridge between cultures and generations.
What is Kantha?
Kantha quilting is the traditional Bengali craft of patching together and embroidering cloth and saris. By the time Namai designs are sewn, the fabric is on its third life-cycle and has passed through the hands of generations of women.
About the designer:
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, Rag & Bone, Vince, 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.
