Hemant & Nandita is an Indian fashion label founded by the designer duo Hemant Lalwani and Nandita Lalwani, who met while studying fashion design at NIIFT Mohali and launched their brand in 2003. Starting with a single sewing machine and one craftsman in a rented apartment in Delhi, they opened their first retail store at Shahpur Jat on December 17, 2003, marking the beginning of their journey from a local startup to a globally recognized Indian fashion house. The brand is renowned for its distinctive fusion of traditional Indian heritage with contemporary global trends, creating timeless pieces that seamlessly blend cultural authenticity with modern aesthetics. Known for their statement-making prints, vibrant color palettes, and modern bohemian sensibility, Hemant & Nandita draws inspiration from art forms, architecture, tribal culture, and their travels around the world. Their designs reflect a fun-loving, colorful approach that incorporates unique motifs, embellishments, and techniques, making each piece easily identifiable as coming from a place rich in culture and tradition.
