India has a long and rich heritage of embroidery, where colour, pattern and natural fabrics are deeply woven into the craft. It is here that MAKSU creates a selection of special pieces, shaped by traditional techniques and a deep appreciation for detail.
Each embroidered garment reflects the time, skill and care involved in its making. These pieces are not mass-produced but thoughtfully created, resulting in subtle variations that give every garment its own character and sense of individuality.

Character and Detail
Subtle variations are a natural part of the embroidery process. These differences are not imperfections but expressions of craftsmanship that make each garment unique.
Craftsmanship FAQs
What does embroidered in India mean at MAKSU?
Embroidered in India refers to garments created using embroidery techniques developed and produced in India, drawing on a long-standing tradition of textile craft. Depending on the design, embroidery may be applied by hand, by machine, or through a combination of both, always with a focus on detail and finish.
Why do embroidered pieces feature subtle variations?
Subtle variations are a natural part of the embroidery process, whether created by hand or machine. Differences in placement, texture or finish reflect the nature of the technique and contribute to the individuality and character of each garment.
Are embroidered garments more delicate?
Embroidered garments are designed to be worn and enjoyed. While embroidery adds detail and texture, certain pieces benefit from mindful handling to help preserve the stitching and surface over time.
How should embroidered garments be cared for?
To preserve the beauty of embroidered detailing, we recommend following the care instructions provided with each garment and wearing jewellery and accessories with care to avoid catching or pulling. Thoughtful wear helps maintain the finish over time.
