A clothing and home-textile flagship selling hand-spun khadi, naturally dyed garments, accessories, quilts, and rugs. The label describes its production approach as seed-to-stitch.

11.11/eleven eleven is the Delhi-based label of Mia Morikawa, a graphic-design graduate of Central Saint Martins, and Shani Himanshu, who trained in fashion design at Milan's Domus Academy. Operating under parent company CellDSGN, the two built the brand around what they call a 'seed to stitch' philosophy: garments made from indigenous cotton, hand-spun and hand-loom woven, then finished using miniature tie-dye, hand painting, and quilting techniques learned from artisan communities across India. Every piece is dyed with 100% natural colorants rather than synthetic ones, and the label frames the process as regenerative rather than merely sustainable -- nitrogen-rich runoff from its natural dyeing is redirected to fertilize the fields of the same rural communities that supply the cotton and the labor. That closed loop, alongside the deliberate rejection of industrial mass production, has made 11.11 a reference point in India's slow-fashion movement, sold through the label's own flagship on Lodhi Road in New Delhi as well as internationally. The name itself nods to symmetry and intention -- 11:11 as a moment of alignment -- carried through into a catalogue of khadi clothing, naturally dyed textiles, quilts and rugs built to outlast trend cycles rather than follow them.
David Abraham and Rakesh Thakore build their New Delhi design house on Indian handloom textiles cut into spare, modern silhouettes of kurtas, saris, shirts and dresses. The label extends into a home collection of dinnerware, candles and cloth, and has shown at the V&A and Liberty London.

Aisha Rao trained first as a lawyer, earning her degree from the National University of Juridical Sciences before redirecting toward fashion -- studying design at Barcelona's IED and then garment construction specifically at Parsons School of Design in New York. She launched her eponymous label in Hyderabad in 2018, building it around a specific, unusual raw material: fabric waste. Offcuts and remnants are upcycled and reworked into appliqué motifs rather than discarded, then layered with traditional Indian embellishment techniques -- aari and zardozi embroidery, macramé work -- to produce occasion wear that reads as deliberately maximalist rather than restrained, built around bold color and dense surface detail. That combination of sustainability-minded sourcing and traditional Indian handcraft, applied to bridal and festive wear rather than everyday ready-to-wear, has become the label's signature. Every piece is designed and produced in Hyderabad, keeping the supply chain close to the ateliers and embroiderers Rao works with directly. The Mehrauli boutique inside Delhi's Ambawatta One complex -- a courtyard address that has become a hub for independent Indian designers -- is the label's third physical store, extending a brand built initially online into a retail footprint across the country's fashion capitals.
Amit Aggarwal's flagship boutique, KILA, sits at Seven Style Mile in Mehrauli, New Delhi, where couture and ready-to-wear are sold alongside personal appointments with the designer's creative director. The label also runs a second New Delhi store, EMPORIO, and a Colaba location in Mumbai, backed by a full e-commerce site shipping worldwide.

The shelves cover art and design, with architecture, photography, fashion titles alongside them. Architectural Digest India called it India's largest retailer of art and design books in 2023.

CMYK Bookstore came out of a publishing house rather than a retail chain. Kapil and Priya Kapoor, who run Roli Books, opened it to give art and design titles a room of their own. The stated ambition was a shop that understood illustrated books well enough to dedicate an entire space to the genre. More than a decade on, the shelves hold illustrated books sourced from publishers abroad, weighted toward art and design. Architectural Digest India described the Greater Kailash 2 shop as India's largest retailer of art and design books, and named the Kapoors as its founders. Kapil is managing director at Roli Books and Priya is editorial director, so the buying comes from inside the trade. The head office address remains M-75, Greater Kailash 2 Market, while the shop also lists 142 Meharchand Market on Fifth Avenue. Stock runs from Assouline travel volumes to Sanskrit compendiums and single-subject design surveys. Prices sit at collector level, which the shop does not disguise. The shop ships within India and abroad, and it takes book requests by phone for titles not on the floor.

Nicobar offers contemporary clothing and homeware through a collection that describes its design perspective as rooted in India. Its home range includes tableware and serving pieces alongside decorative objects, with clothing available for women and men. Gifts can therefore range from something for the dining table to a wearable item, rather than one narrow product category.
Best for Contemporary clothing, tableware and gifts for the home
Nicobar is a lifestyle brand whose identity is modern, with mindful design rooted in India. The range moves between clothing and the home. One design language connects women's and men's wear with dining and textiles, then extends further to furniture and gifts. Nico Core provides a recurring foundation, while NicoSera is presented as an evening edit. A named collaboration with Rajesh Pratap Singh adds another authored collection within the clothing programme. Home categories are equally specific: dinner sets, serveware and drinkware, with table linen beside barware. Storage and lighting occupy related categories with decorative objects. The Singleton Social collaboration appears among Nicobar's home collections. Gifting is treated as its own service through a concierge, e-gift cards and occasion-led selections. This structure makes Nicobar different from a fashion label that merely adds a few accessories. Clothing, table rituals and interiors are developed as parallel expressions of the same India-rooted point of view. Named collections prevent that breadth from becoming anonymous. Nico Core supplies continuity while NicoSera defines a particular time of day, and designer collaborations introduce a distinct author. Together they give the merchant a legible framework across apparel and objects alongside gifts.
Ogaan’s Hauz Khas flagship gathers Indian designer fashion across bridal, occasion and contemporary ready-to-wear. The multi-brand edit lets clients compare embroidery, silhouette and price without booking several separate ateliers.

New Delhi label launched in 2008 by designer Aneeth Arora; combines hand embroidery and traditional Indian textile craft with a playful, Western-inflected silhouette.
Best for Handwoven Indian clothing and fine embroidery
Pero, whose name means 'to wear' in Marwari, was launched in 2008 by Aneeth Arora, a graduate of the Indian Institute of Fashion Technology who went on to study at India's National Institute of Design. Arora spent extensive time with craftspeople learning dyeing, weaving and embroidery techniques, and every Pero garment reportedly passes through the hands of at least half a dozen artisans before completion. The label combines these traditional Indian textile crafts with a Western-leaning design sensibility across women's, men's and children's lines, and has since expanded into home decor. Pero is stocked in roughly 20 countries and has shown at Pitti Uomo and Pitti Bimbo in Florence.
Suneet Varma creates made-to-order couture, including embroidered lehengas, sari gowns and sculptural blouses. Consultation and fittings are central because the pieces combine substantial handwork with event-specific customisation.
