MimamsAa by Ankita Singh
Mimamsaa is a homegrown brand that centres each collection on creativity, innovation, and the earnestness of art. They specialize in handwoven materials, a craft that has seen numerous centuries, yet stays immortal in its pertinence. Mimamsaa values experimenting and making their own hybrid texture, a blend of tissue silk and contemporary prints.
In reevaluating age-old traditions of winding to meet the present metropolitan language we explore the intimate connections between culture and modernity that characterize the style of the cutting edge Indian lady. Their devotion to this objective is however carefully practical as it aesthetic: empowering the work of our artisans is a critical need in a period where these customs are blurring into history. To do justice to the intricate processes, They work with entire households of weaving families—not just individuals—who've drilled this art for ages.
About the Designer
Ankita Singh was a young student at NIFT Gandhinagar, she set out on an expedition around the country, to explore the rich heritage of Indian textiles. From Benaras to Kanchipuram, she found herself in the midst of a plethora of historical traditions, and she’s never looked back since. She took this love to the classroom too, her love grew with every little project she took up.
In 2016, as a young graduate, she realised she wanted to take this love to a bigger stage. To realise her aesthetic vision of marrying the rich world of handloom textiles and the modern world, she knew she had to begin something on her own: a daring, uncompromising journey. Thus, Mimamsaa was born.

"Chokher Bali": The oeuvre of the prolific RabindranathTagore covers the vast expanse of the human condition. His pen defends the complexities of what it is to be a woman in a society that cages her.

This story became the inspiration of our new collection.
