Kora by NM brings Bandhani, Patola and mirror work to festive menswear with Folk Fusion

Kora by NM

Kora by NM’s latest collection, Folk Fusion, brings the colour, craft and visual richness of Indian textiles into a contemporary festive wardrobe. Rooted in traditional techniques but designed with a modern sensibility, the collection explores the many textures, patterns and colours that make Indian craftsmanship so distinctive

Inspired by the expressive world of Indian folk textiles, Folk Fusion brings together Bandhani, Patola, mirror work, intricate embroidery and vibrant colour stories, alongside striking ombré treatments. Traditional techniques are layered with contrasting patterns and artworks, creating a maximalist aesthetic that feels playful, energetic and distinctly Indian

Designed for the modern Indian man, the collection moves beyond conventional occasionwear. Its versatile silhouettes are imagined for festive celebrations, intimate gatherings and everything in between, offering pieces that bring a sense of occasion without feeling overly formal. Folk Fusion presents Indian craftsmanship as a living, evolving form of expression rather than something confined to the past.

The collection feels particularly at home during the festive season, when dressing up is as much about colour and celebration as it is about tradition. Rich textiles, statement patterns and fluid silhouettes come together to create looks that feel celebratory while retaining an effortless quality

Detailed surfaces and intricate craftsmanship add depth to the collection, with mirror work and embroidery catching the light, while layered patterns and unexpected colour combinations give each look a sense of movement and personality. The interplay of textures and techniques allows the craftsmanship to remain central while giving traditional elements a fresh, contemporary context

At its heart, Folk Fusion is a joyful interpretation of Indian festive dressing. Kora by NM takes familiar craft traditions and turns up the colour, texture and character, creating a wardrobe that feels rooted in heritage while speaking to the way the modern Indian man wants to dress today

With its vibrant palette, artisanal detailing and contemporary silhouettes, Folk Fusion celebrates the pleasure of dressing up while keeping Indian craftsmanship firmly at the centre. The collection is now available at Kora by NM stores
