About Us

Welcome to K R I T I

I'm Kriti Mainali, and this brand started as something I built quietly, nights and weekends, while working a full-time corporate job because I couldn't shake the feeling that the heritage embroidery and craftsmanship I grew up around deserved a place on the world's biggest runways.

I moved to the United States from Nepal in 2020, carrying with me a deep respect for the artisans and techniques I'd known my whole life. Four years ago, I decided to stop keeping that passion on the side and build K R I T I into something real.

We don't follow trends , we create legacy.

Our Story

Every K R I T I piece is designed in the USA and handcrafted by skilled artisans in Nepal and India, preserving centuries-old embroidery techniques while shaping them into modern couture silhouettes. Every design carries purpose.

That story has now reached global stages: K R I T I has been showcased at Emirates Fashion Week in Dubai, New York Fashion Week with Runway 7, and Paris Fashion Week with Milan Fashion Week next on the horizon.

K R I T I is more than a label. It's a bridge  between heritage and modernity, between artisans and global audiences, between where I come from and where this brand is going. And this is only the beginning.

Our Craft

Every piece represents hours of skilled handwork intricate embroidery, luxurious fabric, and techniques passed down through generations. When you wear K R I T I, you're wearing a piece of that heritage.
