Founded in 2018 by Pallavi Advani in Dehradun
Our Story
Pallavi Advani is the genius behind Knotty Knitters, a venture for ‘knotting and weaving thread together to form a fabric’ and driven by a passion for handcrafted materials from all over India. Before her career as an entrepreneur, she did Postgraduate. For a state which attributes its dryness to the vast lands of the Thar desert, Rajasthan equally compensates in richness through its traditions and culture. This vibrant state perfectly echoes the sentiments of “Vocal for Local”, as the search for the purest handicraft work will take you to the villages of Kutch and Jaipur. From the incredible designs of Bandhani, wave patterns of Leheriya, block print florals of Bagru, light fabrics of Kota Doria and shimmer of Gotta Patti work, Rajasthani textile culture speaks generations worth of traditions and experimentations, amidst which Pallavi worked for 2 years.
With a business mind trained around the nitty-gritty of retail and clothing market, and a heart enriched with an ancient fabric culture, Pallavi set up a homely business and ventured into the fashion sector, bringing to her customers the traditional royal couture of Rajasthan. Slowly, the business expanded its design section to include the traditional side of the state of Gujarat as well! All her experience and hard work put into her self-made brand paid back in the form of good reviews and excellent feedback from the customers. Following a year of planning and conceptualizing, it was in 2018 when she finally established the brand name and store for Knotty Knitters, a boutique shop designed to fill in your fashion needs with traditional attires and pure handcrafted fabric works, for both casual wear and formal wear. In 2020, her brand finally ventured into e-commerce.
Our Collections
We bring to you Sarees, Suits and Dupattas from Gota Patti Collection and Blockprint fabrics
Poshak Collection
The Poshak Collection is reflective of the royal couture of Rajasthan, with a blend of the state’s heritage and its Rajputi culture. A favorite of the Maharanis since the ancient times, a Rajputi Poshak is a set of Kurti, Kanchali (both cover the upper part of the body), Ghagra (a long graceful skirt) and Odhni (a long piece of transparent cloth that covers the head as a symbol of dignity), but now is adorned by women from all castes and culture in the state. Drenched in various colors, embossed with the embroidery work which enlivens the traditional designs and carrying generations of handicraft skills dating back to the Mughal period, a Rajputani Poshak delivers the perfect elegance for any occasion. Concept designing of all the poshaks(dresses) is done by Team Knotty Knitters to deliver the wow factor for your trad game. Poshaks are available in designs for both casual wear and wedding occasions.
