The atelier
A house built
slowly.
Nikki.K is a Delhi-based atelier devoted to a quieter kind of luxury — one measured in hours of handwork, in fabric chosen for its memory, in pieces that will outlive the season.

Letter from the founder
"I started Nikki.K because I missed clothes that felt like heirlooms."
I grew up in my grandmother's wardrobe — silk saris she had re-pleated for thirty years, tailored coats with hand-finished buttonholes, a single ivory blouse that travelled with her through every chapter of her life. Each piece was made once, and made well.
When I returned to Delhi after years of design school in London and a season at a couture house in Paris, I couldn't find that same patience on the shelves. So in 2021, with three tailors and a single bolt of Italian wool crepe, I opened the atelier.
Today we are still small — and that is by design. Every piece you see is cut, stitched and finished within our studio in Delhi, by people I know by name. Nothing leaves until I have held it in my hands.

What we believe
The house code.
01
Cloth first
We choose the cloth before the silhouette. Italian wool crepes, mulberry silks, hand-loomed cottons.
02
Made by hand
Pad-stitched canvases, hand-rolled hems, bound buttonholes. The slow details that age beautifully.
03
Made in numbers we can name
Capsule production. No piece is made in quantities we cannot personally inspect.
