“Beyond the obvious and into the overlooked” - @vinitamakhija

So grateful to represent Nagaland in this carefully put-together list of lesser-known brands from across different states. It feels both special and humbling 🤍🖤

Big thanks to @vinitamakhija for noticing and including us. It truly means a lot. 🥰 by @kin_tem

Truly honoured to be featured in @esquireindia @esquire and so grateful to @extinctchicken for telling our story once again, this time from a whole new perspective 🥰

It feels incredibly special to see shawl fashion being highlighted, a style so close to our heart, yet rarely spoken about. This great feature dedicated to shawls makes us feel so seen.

Naga shawls have always been the first image people associate Nagaland with and we have worn it through generations as a daily style item, continue to do so but seeing them recognised as ‘style’ in a prestigious magazine brings a whole new kind of pride🥰

Here’s to the beginning of shawl fashion taking centre stage like never before. This time it’s our NARA and TZÜA shawls 🥰🤍🖤 by @kin_tem

BONDED -Wedding Edit as seen on @thenodmag

“In Nagaland, the Bridal Mekhala makes a quiet comeback” - @chloechou13

Humbled and very excited to be exclusively featured in the ‘Weddings’ section of @thenodmag

A thoughtful, culturally aware, and beautifully written piece by @chloechou13, capturing BONDED with so much attention and understanding. It was truly heartwarming to see her so invested in every detail as we chatted with her. 🥰🥰

This feature is for every patron who chose BONDED this season, and of course, for our former brides, every Kintem bride-to-be, and every bride in a mekhala. Let’s own this. 🤍🥰

Special thank you to @avinuo_kire and @leeannsaldanha for being a part of the story and making it even more wholesome.🤍🤍 🥰😍

There are many ways to drape a Mekhala apart from the classic wrap if you don’t mind a little drape experimentation.☺️

Here’s @amongwalling in the MATI-Check taking on a saree-inspired experimental drape. 💕🖤🤎 by @kin_tem

LANA

For the first time, a modal handloom mekhala/wrapper set.

The regular border is placed along one side of the stole instead of both, a subtle yet fresh change that stands out.

The stole remains slightly larger than a standard mekhala/wrapper stole and narrower than a shawl, perfect to wrap comfortably around you.

Silky with a soft sheen bringing comfort and glow to the season ahead…

Woven in modal yarn on the shuttle loom.
