Material & Care
The Hands Behind The Dress
Each piece is hand-embroidered using traditional Indian techniques: Aari stitching, Moti Ka Kaam beadwork, Bharai satin fill, Phanda knots and Resham threadwork on cotton poplin.
Hand-beaded in Moti Ka Kaam with Phanda knots, the parakeet evokes joy and playful freedom.
Silk-thread hibiscus worked in Aari stitch and Bharai satin fill, beauty as resilience and power.
Contrast drawcords finished with cultural beaded flowers and Resham threadwork at the sleeve.
Why Maya exists
I made this dress for the woman who is becoming. The hibiscus is her resilience, the parakeet her joy and every stitch is placed by hand, by artisans whose craft carries generations. When you wear Maya, you wear that story.
