With N
Made in New Delhi
with N. is a slow fashion label inspired by the poetry of everyday living. Founded in 2019, the brand reflects a quiet elegance—an appreciation of slowness, intention, and simplicity. Its name is a gentle nod to the word “within”, speaking to the brand’s deeply personal approach to design and storytelling.
Rooted in India’s rich handloom traditions, with N. explores the beauty of textile crafts through a lens of modernity, emotion, and restraint. Its clothing is designed to feel familiar—anchored in memory yet aspirational in form. Each piece is an attempt to connect art, culture, travel, and the gentle rituals of daily life.
What started as a passion project by Nishtha and Nikhil has grown into a full-time creative pursuit—an unfolding diary of what moves them, inspires them, and makes them feel most alive.
Philosophy
At its core, with N. celebrates simplicity and slowness. The label does not follow seasonal drops. Instead, it introduces pieces organically—when inspiration strikes, or when a textile speaks to them in a way that cannot be ignored. Their clothes are unassuming yet poetic—crafted for romantics, daydreamers, artists, and anyone who seeks meaning in the mundane.
Each garment embraces the quiet irregularities of handloom—loose threads, slight variations, and asymmetry that signal the unmistakable presence of the human hand. It is this celebration of imperfection that defines with N.’s design language.
With a commitment to sustainability, every fabric is chosen with care, every dye with consciousness, and every silhouette with wearability in mind. Clothes are meant to be lived in, worn through the seasons, and cherished for years.
Textiles
with N. works closely with artisan clusters across India to source and co-develop handwoven textiles that carry history in their weave. Their textile stories are as thoughtful as their silhouettes:
Handwoven Cotton & Jamdani
From Bengal comes the brand’s iconic handwoven khadi cotton shirts—often featuring delicate Jamdani butis that float like clouds. These motifs, inspired by neem leaves, the moon, or the earthy tiles of Tamil Nadu, are reimagined in-house to give tradition a gentle modern twist.
Kala Cotton
Native to the arid lands of Kutch, kala cotton is a rain-fed, chemical-free crop known for its raw texture. Sourced directly from Bhujodi weavers, the textile lends structure and soul to designs like the label’s signature Half Moons—a motif born from a chance encounter, developed through iterations, and now a beloved staple.
Khadi
The most democratic of Indian textiles, khadi remains central to with N.’s collections. Whether from Andhra Pradesh or Karnataka, its grainy texture, earthy tones, and breathability make it both humble and timeless. The brand works only with certified weaver organizations to ensure ethical sourcing.
Handwoven Linen
Drawn from Burdwan in West Bengal, the brand’s linen collections aim to replace mill-made alternatives in everyday wardrobes. A familiar fabric reintroduced through a conscious lens, with N.’s linen offers a comforting blend of ease and elegance.
Mulberry Silk
Also from West Bengal, mulberry silk at with N. is made for the everyday. Lightweight, fluid, and ever-elegant, their silk pieces challenge the notion that silk is only for occasion wear. With post-weaving natural dyeing, the brand plays with color to uncover new hues that shimmer uniquely on this textile.
Nishtha, a former journalist, brings her love for textiles, storytelling, and lived experience into the soul of the brand. Nikhil, a traveler and cultural researcher, infuses the label with curiosity, cultural nuance, and an instinctive eye for aesthetics. Together, they built with N. as an extension of who they are—shaped by journeys through India’s landscapes, encounters with craftspeople, and the deep desire to create something meaningful, slow, and enduring.
