About US
Why is 101 Knots ® a class apart?
The Mughal Magnificence
There is a reason behind the immortality of the sense of art in the Mughal era. Be it in architecture or apparel, the Mughal motif is a timeless spell that imbibes iris and narcissus flowers and embroideries that host floral motifs, adding a sense of luxe to your style-statement.
Discover a delicately weaved, closer to the rich-roots of India: Mughal Motif range, exclusively designed by 101 Knots ®.
Elegance in Embroidery
To us elegance is not a temporal subject. What we weave at 101 Knots ® bleeds elegance from the beginning thread that we weave. Our embroideries are just part of the elegant project which we consider each of our creations to be. In the Medieval Islamic genre of fashion, embroidered apparels were worn only by royal women. It is this sense of exclusivity that we have tried to add to our creations too.
Perfection woven with strength
The millennial woman, believes both in grace and strength. So does the fabric we weave for them. Being beautiful does not serve the quality grade of whatever we weave at 101 Knots ®. It has to be sturdy with hemlines and stitches that are not just done with perfection but made robust to keep up with your agile living.
Simplified yet class-apart designs
It’s not just about coming up with an outstanding design but executing them with simplicity through every thread we weave. Each creation of 101 Knots ® has passed through a detailed texturing of the design motifs we come up with, which is fabric-sensitive and yet highly simplified in their expression. At 101 Knots ® we believe, simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication, and that’s what is conveyed through every thread we weave.

How it started?
Now when we look back, it seems so different to think that it all began from a small yet significant jovial conversation between the founder-brother & sister, Sangeeta and Pankaj. Sangeeta & Pankaj, who have shared a strong bonding since childhood, thought why not blend their years of togetherness & passions to connect through a joint venture of cloth-manufacturing, as that would put to use a perfect sync between the proficiencies of both the siblings.
And that’s how the foundation of 101 Knots was laid, through the union of its founding bro-sis pair!
