Trims are not secondary details. They shape how a product is seen, felt, and remembered.
Natvarlal Kachiwala. Founder. 1960
Our origin

Built on one
founder's vision.

In 1960, Natvarlal Umedram Kachiwala established Lami in Surat with a single conviction: that decorative trims should be designed and made to a standard the world would notice. What began as a humble weaving operation grew, generation by generation, into one of India's most respected trim manufacturers.

"Trims are not secondary details. They shape how a product is seen, felt, and remembered."

Today, Lami is led by the third generation of the founding family. The business has scaled, but the founding principle remains unchanged. Design-led quality, built for lasting partnerships.

Our Surat facility houses advanced looms, embroidery machines, braiding equipment, and a dedicated prototyping centre. Decisions are made by people who care about the company's long-term reputation, not quarterly targets.
