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.

Can't find what you're looking for?

We add new sites every week but if you have a specific request, let us know.

A lot of Indian clothing brands don't start from scratch, they build from what already exists. Fabrics, techniques, and ways of making that have been around for years still show up, just in different forms.

You'll see that clearly when going through a list of Indian clothing brands. Some stay close to traditional formats, handloom, natural dyeing, regional textiles, while others rework those into simpler, more everyday pieces. The shift is usually in how things are cut and styled, not necessarily in how they're made.

Across these independent Indian clothing brands, there's often a stronger connection to material. Fabric isn't just a choice, it drives the design. That's why collections can feel different from Western labels, less about trends, more about process and source.

At the same time, not everything is traditional. Many brands are moving toward cleaner silhouettes, lighter construction, and clothing that fits into daily wear without losing that base layer of craftsmanship.

If you're exploring Indian clothing brands, this page gives you a way to see how different labels handle that balance, between heritage techniques and more current, wearable design.
