Crafted With Care: The Journey Behind Every Piece

From hand-drawn sketches to artisan-finished details, every Nesavaali piece is a labour of love — made slowly, consciously, and with purpose, so you can wear not just fashion, but a story.

Q: How are Nesavaali garments made?

A: Every piece begins with a story — hand-sketched by our designer Shangami, then brought to life using traditional artisan techniques like hand embroidery, block printing, and fabric dyeing. Each detail is applied with skill and patience, often taking several days to complete. No assembly lines, no shortcuts — just conscious, careful creation.

Q: Who makes my clothes?

A: Our garments are crafted by talented supply chain partner artisans, many of whom are rural women supported through our empowerment programs. These makers are not hidden behind the scenes — they are the heartbeat of our brand. Their hands shape each garment with pride, tradition, and joy.

Q: What techniques do you use in your designs?

A: From intricate weaving, hand embellishments to block prints carved and pressed by hand, our pieces are rich in texture and storytelling. We also use traditional sewing techniques passed down through generations to ensure every garment feels artisanal and luxurious.

Q: Why are your pieces priced at a premium?

A: You’re not just buying a garment — you’re investing in craftsmanship, fair wages, hours of handwork, and a design made in limited quantities (only 36 per style). Each piece reflects the true cost of ethical fashion — one that honours both people and planet.

Q: Do you use sustainable materials?

A: Yes — wherever possible, we choose natural or low-impact fabrics, and we continue to evolve our sourcing practices to be more earth-conscious. Sustainability is not a trend for us — it’s a responsibility.

Q: What kind of packaging do you use?

A: Every Nesavaali order is lovingly wrapped in plastic-free, recyclable canvas packaging — because we believe your first unwrapping should feel as good for the planet as it does for you.

Q: How long does it take to make one piece?

A: It varies. Some garments take a few days, others a couple of weeks — especially if hand embroidery or custom elements are involved. This time is a testament to the care poured into every stitch. We believe in fashion that waits for you — not the other way around.
