Founders
‘with N.’ is a labour of love for its founders Nishtha & Nikhil. It has evolved from being a passion project to a full-time pursuit. They’re not trained in fashion schools and the brand is a reflection of their creative sensibilities, guided by their sense of everyday.
Nishtha and Nikhil founded ‘with N.’ in 2019, and after an initial year of groping for directions and calculated steps (or missteps, if you’d like), they found a clear way to move forward on, and there has been no looking back since!
‘with N.’ is an amalgamation of Nishtha’s love for textiles and Nikhil’s penchant for culture and travel. It’s almost like a manifestation of who they are as two people.
Nishtha is a trained journalist who quit her full-time job to finally pursue a path that made her feel most alive, and Nikhil, a discerning traveler, had spent half a decade researching India’s vast landscape to craft bespoke journeys for travelers from around the world, before he stumbled upon the idea of 'with N.'.
'with N.' is a spin on the term 'within', which explains why we do what we do here. It is influenced by art, culture and travel, and we plan to bring to you these aspects in different iterations, in our own time! It is a personal diary of sorts, for everything that is true to us, everything that is within.
