Nyara by Nicky Chawla on Pernia’s Pop-Up Shop

Nyara, founded by designer Nicky Chawla, is a homegrown Indian wear label that blends tradition with thoughtful design. The brand works primarily with Chikankari, a delicate hand embroidery style that traces its roots back to Lucknow. Nicky, with the support of her family, started Nyara not just to showcase this intricate craft, but to also support the artisans behind it. The idea was simple: preserve heritage, create fair jobs, and make pieces that feel meaningful.

At Nyara, Chikankari isn’t just for show. It’s the core of each piece. You’ll never find two garments that are exactly alike. Every stitch tells you someone’s put real time and skill into it. The designs are easy to wear, relaxed in structure, and built for comfort. There’s nothing over-the-top or hard to style; just well-made clothing that fits into everyday life and special occasions too.

The collection features kurta sets, Co-Ord Sets, anarkalis, lightweight Sarees, etc., all keeping fit, comfort and function in the forefront. The designs aren't overly experimental. They are timeless, functional, and true investment pieces.

Nyara by Nicky Chawla: Kurta Sets, Anarkalis, and More

Nyara is built around Chikankari as a craft, which is often paired with subtle hand embellishments like cutdana, pearls, and sequins. In each case, the embellishments are done in a way that keeps the embroidery the focus of the garment. The brand predominantly uses light fabrics such as breathable georgette, cotton-silk, and chanderi, which keep up with the embroidery and make the clothing suitable for multiple occasions and seasons.

What also stands out is Nyara’s approach to sustainability. The team works closely with artisans, ensures fair pay, and produces in limited numbers to avoid excess. There’s no mass production, and the brand doesn’t over-design. Instead, it builds around what it knows well: clean, elegant Indian wear that honors the people who make it.

Nyara’s pieces are best suited for someone who wants classic Indian outfits without loud colors or heavy work. It’s ideal for small functions, intimate weddings, or even casual festive dressing, where craftsmanship matters more than trend cycles.

The brand is handmade, heritage-driven, simple, rooted, and made to last.
