About the Company

NorBlack NorWhite is a dynamic company born out of a desire to delve into the depths of their cultural roots. Co-founded by Amrit Kumar and Mriga Kapadiya, who originally hail from Toronto, the duo embarked on a transformative journey to Bombay in 2010. Their mission was twofold: to reconnect with their heritage and explore alternative ways of living. Little did they know that this quest would lead them to establish one of India’s most unique and celebrated fashion brands.

During their time in Bombay, Amrit and Mriga immersed themselves in the rich tapestry of Indian crafts, traversing bustling lanes, sampling delectable street snacks, and absorbing the vibrant cultural milieu that surrounded them. It was amidst this exploration that they stumbled upon the captivating essence of NorBlack NorWhite (NBNW). They discovered India’s exceptional craftsmanship and, more importantly, forged a deep and lasting friendship that would lay the foundation for their creative collaboration.

Their journey began with the discovery of bandhani, a traditional tie-dye technique that served as a catalyst for NBNW’s artistic vision. However, it was the iconic ‘BomBombers’—reversible silk suits crafted from the textile of their dreams—that truly sparked the brand’s creative evolution. The pair realized that this unique approach to fashion was the path they wanted to tread—a path that involved delving into the intricacies of old-school textiles and reimagining them in fresh and contemporary formats for everyday wear.

Respecting the past has always been paramount for NorBlack NorWhite. Amrit and Mriga recognize that by honoring the process and the people who carry it forward, they can pay homage to the rich heritage of Indian craftsmanship.

The brand’s designs act as a bridge between the past and the present, embodying a distinctive cultural narrative that resonates with a global audience. By blending traditional textiles and crafts with contemporary aesthetics, NBNW showcases the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of Indian culture.

Beyond their innovative designs, the firm is committed to ethical and sustainable practices. The brand embraces slow fashion principles, emphasizing quality, longevity, and responsible production. They work closely with local artisans, ensuring fair wages and fostering long-term partnerships that empower communities.NorBlack NorWhite’s impact extends far beyond the realm of fashion. Through their creative endeavors, Amrit and Mriga have created a platform to showcase the diversity and beauty of Indian craftsmanship. They have become cultural ambassadors, promoting cross-cultural dialogue and encouraging a deeper appreciation for traditional art forms.

In a world that is increasingly homogenized, the firm stands as a testament to the power of cultural exploration and the transformative potential of friendship. With every collection, Amrit and Mriga redefine the boundaries of contemporary fashion, infusing it with the soul of Indian heritage. Their unwavering commitment to celebrating craftsmanship, fostering sustainable practices, and promoting cultural exchange has firmly established NorBlack NorWhite as a trailblazing force within the global fashion landscape.
