Where can I find Maja products?
You can shop Maja: A New Story online, as well as in person at The Design Collective store in Colombo. We also take part in selected pop-ups and trunk shows internationally.
Can I give you my own saree and have it converted into something?
At present, we do not take on bespoke or customer-supplied saree commissions.
Each saree used in our collections goes through a careful selection and quality-checking process before it becomes part of a Maja piece. This allows us to ensure that the fabric is suitable for the design, construction and longevity of the finished product.
Every Maja piece begins with a saree and the story it carries.
We carefully source and select sarees, looking at the fabric, condition, colour, pattern and potential for transformation. Each one then goes through a stringent quality-checking and preparation process before being thoughtfully deconstructed and reimagined.
Rather than simply repurposing the fabric, we design each piece around what the saree can become. Our artisans then bring these designs to life, preserving elements of the original textile while giving it a new purpose.
The result is something that carries a little of its past into a completely new story.
Yes. We ship internationally and periodically take Maja: A New Story to different countries through pop-ups, trunk shows and selected retail partnerships.
What type of accessories do you make?
Our accessories are made from thoughtfully repurposed sarees and other textiles, transforming beautiful remnants into pieces that can be enjoyed in everyday life.
Our collections may include jewelry, bags, pouches, hair accessories , homeware and other small textile pieces, with the selection evolving from collection to collection.
How do you source your sarees?
Our sarees come from a variety of sources, including personal collections, vintage textiles, saree retailers and individuals who are looking to give treasured pieces a new life.
We are particularly drawn to sarees with beautiful colours, patterns, craftsmanship and character. Each piece is carefully considered for its condition, fabric, construction and potential before it is selected for a Maja collection.
We see the saree as more than just a textile — it is something that has already had a life, and our intention is to honour that story while giving it a new one.
