About us

Kiniho is an amalgamation of heritage with modern aesthetics. We are a textile and clothing brand founded in 2016, driven by the idea of “creating responsibly”, our designs are crafted mindfully by seamlessly blending Eri silk handcrafted textiles.

Every piece of Kiniho tells a story of age-old traditions, ancestral weaving knowledge, and lore strongly inspired by the natural surroundings of Meghalaya.

We believe that it is our responsibility to preserve our rich heritage and carry on these traditions through our textile and designs, while at the same time remaining true to our ethics of creating responsibly.

Therefore, we choose to work with our traditional textile Eri silk also known as Peace Silk, we strongly support and are committed to working closely with our community weavers in Ri-bhoi.

Using the skills of these weavers we constantly challenge ourselves and our local weavers to think beyond the ordinary textile.

Each colour palette and texture embody a unique story with a narrative deeply inspired by nature, traditions, and folklore of the region.

At its core, Kiniho is an intersection of a modern approach to traditional textile, where traditional methods, innovative weaving styles, and colour blending techniques meet to create the aesthetics.

We strive towards a socially and environmentally responsible method of production to deliver impeccable ensembles for our customers.

OUR DRIVING FORCE – PHILOSOPHY

Our driving force stems from the belief in creating responsibly. This essence has been intently brought to life in our designs through each and every design process and work ethic.

Our design philosophy is to make use of the traditional or locally known weaving techniques with innovative weaving styles. We blend these 2 core features to create clean, minimal, and relaxed silhouettes that are seasonless and timeless.

Every piece of Kiniho expresses luxury in simplicity with a distinctive signature that can be found in our designs with our texture, fabric, colour, and traditional techniques.
