About

Nicobar is an Indian designer, sustainable minimalist clothing label for women and men, founded in New Delhi in 2016 by Simran Lal and Raul Rai. The couple come from the family behind Good Earth, the design brand founded by Lal's mother, Anita Lal, which Simran also led as CEO. They created Nicobar as a modern Indian voice in design, relaxed, easy and inspired by their journeys across the Indian Ocean, with Lal as creative director and Rai, a former investment banker, as CEO. The range includes shirts, tops, kurtas, dresses, pants and jackets, plus jewellery, travel goods, homeware and furniture. Signature pieces include the Amalis Shirt, the Abe Shirt, the Lola Slip Dress, the Aava Kurta and the Tahr Bandhgala. Everything is made in India. Nicobar works with Indian fabrics such as cotton, khadi, chanderi, kota, cotton silk and Bemberg, and encourages thoughtful consumption over fast fashion, with pieces designed to be restyled for different occasions. Nicobar opened its first store above Kala Ghoda Café in Mumbai in March 2016, followed by Delhi, and now runs stores across India. Its launch was covered by Elle India and The Indian Express.

Collections such as Earthen use breathable crochet fabric in earthy hues, produced in small batches.

Runaway Bicycle

India · Est. 2014 · Mid-range

Runaway Bicycle is a sustainable Indian designer clothing label for women, founded in Mumbai in 2014 by Preeti Verma. Verma built the first collection in a one-bedroom apartment after work hours while holding a day job in advertising, driven by a personal need for clothes that felt comfortable before they looked good. Her lack of fashion training was offset by knowledge of traditional weaving and a belief that the most comfortable clothes are worn by children and people in physical work, such as painters, mechanics and road workers. The label makes dresses, tops, shirts, trousers, skirts and jackets, along with accessories and home décor. Everything is handmade in India, linking traditional weavers and dyers across the country, including handloom weavers in Bengal, with craftspeople in its Mumbai studio. Runaway Bicycle works with handloom and hand-spun cotton, silk, linen and wool, with some pieces hand-painted or naturally dyed. Its ethical philosophy is to make less: clothes designed to outlast trends and seasons, soften with age and withstand many washes, so customers buy less and wear longer. The label has shown at Lakmé Fashion Week and been featured by Vogue India, Vogue Singapore, Elle India and Mint.
