Founder's Profile

I have always been captivated by the quiet magic of handcrafted marvels. My journey began in the timeless lanes of Lucknow, where artisans breathe life into delicate fabrics, transforming them into poetic masterpieces with nothing but needle, thread, and generations of wisdom. It was here, amidst the whispers of Chikankari’s intricate artistry, that I found my calling—a calling rooted in reverence for craftsmanship and a desire to preserve its soul.

House of Nandini is more than a celebration of heritage; it is my promise to my mother and her mother before her. Guided by my mother’s memory, I embarked on this journey to honor a legacy that transcends time. Her unspoken plea—to revive my grandmother’s cherished dream of elevating Chikankari—became my unwavering mission. Through love, loss, and resilience, I’ve woven a sanctuary where tradition dances with devotion, and every stitch tells a story of the hands that crafted it.

Our studio is a living tribute, born from the depths of passion and purpose. Here, we bridge the past and present, crafting timeless pieces that carry the whispers of Lucknow’s artisans and the warmth of my mother’s dream. For me, House of Nandini is not just a brand; it is a testament to the enduring power of art, memory, and the bonds that stitch us together.

“In every embroidery, I see my mother’s hands. In every creation, her vision lives on.”
