ARTISAN MADE


Visit Maiwa on Granville Island 7 days a week between 10am and 7pm
Or online at maiwa.com

DEC. 4th –  DEC. 10th RECEIVE 20% OFF ALL EMBROIDERY.



VISIT OUR EMBROIDERY COLLECTION ONLINE

Promo Code: NEEDLEANDTHREAD
(Use code at checkout)


We want to make your Holiday Season even brighter by offering you a special 20% off all embroidery, both in store and online. Find the perfect accent to celebrate the season.

It is often said that embroidery is a language, a system of communicating through colour, pattern, stitch, and embellishment. Each embroidery is a unique creation of the woman who made it. No two are the same.

We feature embroidery work done by 8 different groups based in India, all of whom exhibit a signature aesthetic.

Traditional Banjara embroidery features stitches and patterns that are instantly recognizable. In life and embroidery the Banjara are noted for boldness and strength. Maiwa is proud to lead the revival of this incredible work.




India’s Kachchh desert contains the highest density of stitch traditions in the world. Dhabaria Rabari, Kachchh Rabari, Dhanetah Jats, Sodha Rajputs, Mutwa, Meghwar, and Ahir are the groups the Maiwa works with. Each has a distinct repertoire of figure and motif. Kachchh stitchwork brings the richness of desert culture into your hands - heirlooms for the future.
