Our Story
The Journey Behind the Craft
Every Marazim piece begins in a small workshop in Gujarat and takes between 35 and 45 days to complete. From tying and dyeing to embroidery and finishing, each stage is handled by artisans who have spent their lives learning a specialised craft passed down through generations.
When a garment is finished, we document its journey - who made it, where they come from, and the work behind the piece. We believe the story of how something is made is inseparable from its value, and every Marazim garment carries that story with it.
The Craft Behind the Creation
Bandhej is one of India’s oldest resist-dyeing techniques, practised for over five thousand years in the Kutch and Jamnagar regions of Gujarat. The craft is created by carefully tying thousands of tiny points of fabric before dyeing, allowing delicate undyed patterns to emerge once the threads are released - each one slightly unique because it is made entirely by hand.
At Marazim, this knowledge is deeply generational. Our karigars learned the craft from mothers and grandmothers who spent years mastering it. The skill lives in their hands, shaped slowly through time and tradition.
A world where the most beautiful things are made by hand, the people who make them are known by name, and the craft traditions of India are passed forward to the next generation.
To preserve Indian craft traditions - beginning with bandhej - by producing limited, made-to-order collections that dignify the artisan, reach the customer at a more honest price point, and ensure a larger share of proceeds flows directly to the karigars and their families.
Named Makers - Every piece carries the name or generational skill of the person who made it. This is non-negotiable.
