Maria Backstory

Hand embroidery is a beautiful art form that’s been practiced in India for centuries. It’s an important part of today’s cultural heritage, with its roots firmly planted in tradition and beauty. The Maria journey starts with collecting the best quality materials like Dabka, Sequins, Kasab, Khichha, pearls(moti), pearl drops(Surai), Resham, and mirrors. We use them all to hand-embroider our clutch bags, so they’re not only beautiful but also durable and long-lasting. The diversity of this beautiful art form is unparalleled as our artisans come from Lucknow, Bareilly, Agra, and Rajasthan all over India. They use their fingers to create intricate patterns on clutch bags, making them a piece of art for you!

Maria Journey

We take pride in our artisanal bags. Made by a community of karigars, our bags are crafted with love and care by hand.
The Tan Clan family takes pride in their continued employment and tries to uplift their art in these times of fast-forward machine-made products. Our in-house design team creates a design on paper, which is then transferred to the fabric and the artisan then embroiders the outline and takes a soulful journey to a finished product. Artisans spend around 12-18 hours of manual handwork crafting each bag with creativity and skilled expertise, taking time and effort to make an embroidered bag uniquely made.
