Maya Red-Striped Pleated Shorts
$550.00
Description
These pleated cotton poplin shorts fuse crisp tailoring with hand-embroidered artistry. Made in lightweight, breathable cotton poplin, they feature deep pockets, a beaded belt with fringe, and a sharp, tailored silhouette.
The hibiscus embodies beauty as resilience and power. The parakeet carries joy and playful freedom. Together, they rest on a field of vivid red, evoking Maya, magic, and a mother’s tender love. They remind us to speak gently to ourselves, for healing, becoming, and true strength.
The embroidered pieces feature delicate needlework in resham silk thread. Traditional treadwork techniques such as Aari stitching and Moti Ka Kaam beadwork transform the shorts into wearable art.

Why Maya Striped exists
I wanted stripes that felt joyful, not severe: red cotton poplin with hibiscus and parakeets embroidered by hand. Elevated enough for evening, light enough for the everyday. When you wear Maya Striped, you wear craft that celebrates.
