Bianca Kuttickattu

Bianca Kuttickattu is the founder and creative director of Namai, a New York-based brand creating one-of-a-kind garments from repurposed antique Indian textiles. Born in England and raised between the U.K. and Canada by artist parents, Kuttickattu studied fashion at London College of Fashion, Middlesex University, and Institut Français de la Mode. Before founding Namai in 2020, she had a 15-year career in footwear and accessory design working for storied brands such as CELINE, Acne Studios, and rag & bone. Merging her global fashion design background with her South Indian and multicultural heritage, Kuttickattu has built a practice centered on sustainability, craftsmanship, and emotional connection. Namai's one-of-one pieces are now carried across Japan, China, Europe, and the U.S.
