Purpose
Nabha Phulkari was founded with a clear vision: to revive the fading art of Phulkari embroidery while creating dignified livelihood opportunities for women artisans in Punjab. Rooted in the belief that heritage should serve a purpose, the brand celebrates traditional craftsmanship as a means of community empowerment. By preserving age-old techniques and embracing slow, sustainable fashion, Nabha Phulkari connects rural artisans to global markets, offering their work the recognition it deserves. Every piece reflects a commitment to authenticity, fairness, and cultural pride. Through its mission, Nabha Phulkari honors the past while shaping a more inclusive, sustainable future for Indian craft.
People
Nabha Phulkari is creating powerful social impact by directly supporting over 300 rural artisans—most of them women—across Punjab. Many of these women are first-generation earners who, through the brand, gain access to fair wages, ongoing skill development, and design-led opportunities. By offering consistent training and dignified work, Nabha Phulkari empowers artisans to build independent, sustainable livelihoods rooted in cultural craftsmanship. The brand's ambitious goal is to elevate each artisan’s monthly income from ₹1,000 to ₹10,000 and beyond, generating a ripple effect of economic upliftment across their families and communities. At its heart, Nabha Phulkari is not just preserving a heritage art form—it is transforming lives through purposeful, creative empowerment.
Planet
Sustainability is central to Nabha Phulkari’s ethos, guiding every step of its creative process. The brand uses handloom cotton for most of its products, dyed with low-impact methods that reduce environmental harm. Each piece is embroidered by hand, significantly minimizing energy and resource consumption. Nabha Phulkari intentionally avoids mass production and harmful chemicals, choosing instead to honor the principles of slow, conscious fashion. Even fabric scraps are repurposed, reflecting a zero-waste approach that values every thread. Through thoughtful material choices and traditional techniques, Nabha Phulkari merges sustainability with heritage, crafting products that are as kind to the planet as they are rich in cultural value.
