Mriga Kapadiya and Amrit Kumar are the founders of
, a New Delhiâbased label that merges traditional Indian crafts and textiles with streetwear silhouettes. The brand also functions as a creative platform for POC voices and offers design and diversity consultation.
On a warm afternoon in March, after sharing a delicious spread of Kashmiri goodies and pani puri, we cut a buttercream cake in our New Delhi studio. We were saying goodbye to our studio manager, a rock who had kept our team laughing for years. It was bittersweet to see her leaveâshe was moving to Mumbai, about to get married, and giddy with excitement. Afterwards, the two of us sat down with our little chai cups filled to the brim to discuss how cute our team was, and finalize plans for NorBlack NorWhiteâs 11th birthday sale on April 20.
