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.

  • Premium 100% Cotton Poplin woven for comfort, while maintaining structure

  • Brass bead embellishment along the hem for artisanal detail

  • Coordinating an embellished belt with distinctive beaded fringe

  • Front pleating that moves with you

  • Functional hand pockets and welt pocket at the back

  • Fly front closure with gold logo buttons for refined branding

From the world of Ashaki — winged horse story still
A word from our founder

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.

★★★★★
The embroidery in person is unreal. People stop me to ask about the parakeet. Worth every dollar.

★★★★★
I'm 5'2" and dresses never fit right. The lacing let me adjust it perfectly. First midi that doesn't swallow me.

★★★★★
Bought the non-embroidered version for everyday. The cotton is structured but soft, and the lining makes it so comfortable.
