Maku is a concept brand based out of Bengal, India, exclusively working with Indigo dye and handwoven textiles. These intentional creative constraints are designed to allow the rich history and materiality of their collection to emerge, using the limitation of choice as a quiet resistance against hegemonic industrial expectations. By turning away from the pressure to conform to modern trends, Maku elevates the indigenous knowledge of their community, intertwining it with the limitless visionary potential of the Indigo plant.
When browsing their collection, expect to find an array of delicate silk dresses and breezy cotton blouses adorned with precious detailing. Maku showcases the attention and subtlety of their artisans through elements that reveal the individuality of each garment, including traditional embroidery, delicate ribbons, and gently scalloped hems. The luxurious handfeel and distinctive presence of these pieces resonate with an audience that values a lifestyle rooted in slowness and contemplation.
