Bodies come in all shapes and sizes and that’s why each one is unique! 💐

If it was up to us, we would only accept payment in snacks! 😋
But for now, you can pay in INR or any other international currency your card/bank accepts!
Since our backend is built on INR, your transaction will be processed in INR.
How secure is shopping from the online site?
Completely secure! 🤝
We use Razorpay Secure (UPI, Cards, Wallets, NetBanking) to process all transactions.
Additionally, we do not have access to any payment/card information, either from the payment gateway or from our backend.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Though we’d ideally love to accept tasty snacks, for now we only accept payments received via all national & international Debit/Credit cards, UPI, wallets, and Netbanking.
Will I be charged taxes?
No! We got your covered there :) No additional taxes are charged on any order you make through our online shop!PRODUCTS
What does made-to-order mean?
Made to order means that a style is handmade, especially for YOU, by our superstar team! 💫
As a small business, it helps us to predict and regulate our costs, and care for the 🌍 by creating fewer piles of inventory + smaller piles of waste.What are the wash care instructions for NBNW styles?
Each style has a different washcare depending on the crafting technique used. We try making our styles handwash-friendly whenever possible, but some may be dry-clean only owing to the complexity of the dyeing method.
Detailed instructions for each product will be provided on the product page. If you’re still unsure, please reach out to us before any washing!
Should I expect my NBNW product to look different with time?
Yes you should! And isn’t this the beauty of it? 🌸
Your NBNW style is handmade and hand-dyed, and that is why no two pieces are the same. Due to the nature of the handmade processes for our textiles, some imperfections (if any) are natural over time. Such variations are normal, and expected and only add to the uniqueness of your piece.
What can you do? Make sure you follow the washing instructions to keep your NBNW young at heart!Who makes my NBNW products?
From our founders to our skilled karigars (artisans) who create magic with their hands – there are a few things that tie all of us together – we love colour, we love to laugh, we’re joyful about what we do, and we do e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g with 100% pure love! 🌈
Are NBNW products good for the planet?
Our ❤️ for our planet reflects in our made-to-order model. It creates fewer piles of inventory + smaller piles of waste!
Are NBNW products good for people?
Our processes are centred around people and respecting culture is at our core. From the initial development to the final piece getting shipped we value the makers greatly, and have the least amount of dependency on machines. We celebrate the hands and their processes with all the post-dyeing work done by our in-house team.
Of course, we run a business in the 21st century and use technology wherever it can aid efficiency.
It has been a slow and steady process in which we take every opportunity on all levels to make decisions that positively impact the environment, people and culture. The realities of running a small business while staying true to these values often mean limited access to afford the luxury of operating exactly the way we dream of.
Unfortunately the nature of how the world systems are set up to be able to operate from an intersection of respectability of art, design and storytelling often doesn’t uphold the respect of the environment, people and culture. While consistently working against the current we have taken baby steps and continue to create a model and working environment that allows us and our team to sleep happily and comfortably at night. We leave it up to you to feel the energy in our work and decide how good it makes you feel.
GIFT SHOP
Are gift shop products made to order?
Depends on what it is! We often work with smaller groups of artisans or NGOs in which it’s to everyone's benefit to develop a run of pieces which means it becomes a limited edition run. Other products like scrunchies, we make in-house and are most definitely made to order.
Can gift shop products be returned?
Sure. However please be mindful of the reasoning behind the return. With respect to the NGOs and artisans we are working with, we aren’t trying to create a culture of disposability and unconscious spending. Think about what and why you are purchasing a gift shop item before pressing that button!
