Situated off Southern Avenue on 56A, Raja Basanta Roy Road, NAMEG is a celebration of the passionate love of three friends for all things traditional and handcrafted. These three friends—Meghali, Rupali and Namita, together transformed a sprawling area of 3,200 sq.ft. into a vibrant boutique and a café. Moving across three floors of artistic expressions one appreciates how harmoniously modern sensibilities have  blended with all that is traditional.

“We have made sure that we showcase only handcrafted products created by recognised and award-winning craftspersons from across India and abroad. We feel that sourcing products from recognised craftspersons will automatically ensure the quality of the products,” says the trio. “It is indeed a matter of pride that we in India have such a variety of exquisite handcrafted products to showcase,” adds Meghali.

NAMEG (a combination of two names NA from Namita and MEH from Meghali) is committed to promoting only timeless traditional weaves and other products and presenting them to a global clientele. All the products on display and sale have been handpicked be it handcrafted pottery, furniture pieces, fabrics, sarees, home decor items, silver jewellery, etc. At this atelier they believe in encouraging and empowering craftspersons, especially women.

This designer den has brought a variety of handloom weaves showcasing regional typicalities which makes each of the  sarees uniquely different.  A limited collection of Kalamkari sarees from Telengana are truly attractive. This collection has used block prints on Mangalgiri sarees with Kalamkari work. The body has indigo block prints with multi-coloured Kalamkari work on the pallus or aanchals. Each a stunning piece! Besides Kalamkari a curated range of Jamdanis are there as they are much in demand throughout the year. In addition,there are a variety of sarees from Assam, Bhagalpur, Varanasi, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Tamilnadu and Bengal. The price range of sarees starts from Rs. 1500/-.
