ABOUT MAKU
Maku is a conceptual fashion brand rooted in the philosophy of its founder director Santanu Das. A committed conceptual artist, Maku, for Santanu, is an extension of his artistic oeuvre.

The history of textile runs parallel to human civilization, a coded time machine reaching out to our emotions as a testimony of our heritage, culture and skill. At Maku the textile takes the front seat, the design statements evolving from the pulse of the yardage. The brand offers select exclusively designed garment from the fibre to the rack using only hand spun and hand woven textile in Indigo and many other naturally dyed colours.

The label believes in the slow fashion of handloom and uses only organically produced textiles manufactured using indigenous practices - hand spun and hand woven - intrinsically bringing into focus India’s textile history of Khadi as an emblem of human skill and sensitivity towards material resources. In the individualistic spirit of the textile type it advocates – handloom-, the brand deliberately incorporates perceived imperfection in its design detail through the use of reverse buttons, print etc.
