Design Focus

Hand Embroidered Phulkari

Mayray's essence lies in Phulkari, the exquisite needlecraft from Punjab. We skillfully infuse this tradition into our garments, creating functional pieces for everyday wear. Our mantra: Revisit and Reinvent, as we breathe new life into this timeless stitching art.

Handwoven Khaddar Cotton

Being a homegrown label, we believe in everything handmade by the joyful souls of our country. Over 50% of our fabrics are handwoven/Handloom cottons from Khadi.

Typography

Mayray draws inspiration from Punjabi Folklore and the timeless beauty of their music and language. We aim to make a profound statement through every garment, adorning them with hand-embroidered Phulkari typography.

Our collections embody the spirit of Punjabi classics like "Jind Meriye," "Aaja Mahi," "Dhola ve Dhola," "Din Shagna da chadeya ve," and "Sada Chiryaan da chamba," infusing each piece with the vibrant essence of Punjabi Jazz.

Phulkari is deeply rooted in Punjab's culture, reflecting its essence. At Mayray, we put our heart and soul into preserving this cultural legacy, allowing you to wear a piece of Punjab's rich heritage and emotions.

Typography is a distinctive aspect of our brand, paying homage to the revival of Phulkari and establishing a nostalgic connection with our customers. It's a value that our designer holds dear and lives by daily, making each word, song, and language a cherished part of life. Always.

Upcycled Fabric to

Zero waste

We are committed to sustainability by upcycling a significant portion of our locally sourced fabric, often repurposing factory waste. Our dedication to minimizing waste led us to stitch together waste strips, creating textured and distinctive fabrics. These small fabric pieces are thoughtfully assembled to craft timeless masterpieces, infused with love and care.

An Ode to our Eccentric Soul: Fabric Blocking to Colour Blocking

Our fabric selection is a blend of handwoven and handmade textiles, combined with a variety of upcycled fabrics. We take pride in merging these diverse materials to create unique and enduring products. This design approach reflects our core values: eccentric, fun, upbeat, and impactful. Our creations are meant to catch your eye and leave a lasting impression.
