Collection: Makhmal: Timeless Elegance in Luxurious Silk Velvet Suits

There are few fabrics in the world that capture the warmth, depth, and regality of velvet, or as it is known in India, Makhmal. The Makhmal Suits collection by WeaverStory is a tribute to this timeless textile, reimagined with modern artistry and rooted in centuries of Indian craftsmanship. Each ensemble tells a story of intricate hand embroidery, rich jewel tones, and the unmatched texture of pure silk velvet, a fabric that evokes royal grace with every drape.

Crafted to bring warmth and grandeur to the cooler seasons, these Makhmal suits blend functional elegance with aesthetic finesse. Designed for the modern woman who values heritage as much as style, WeaverStory’s Makhmal line embodies the rare harmony of tradition and timeless sophistication.

The Legacy Behind WeaverStory’s Makhmal Suits

Founded on National Handloom Day in 2015, WeaverStory began as an initiative to celebrate India’s artisanal legacy. From Banaras and Kanchipuram to Maheshwar and Kashmir, every WeaverStory collection represents a confluence of heritage crafts and contemporary design.

The Makhmal Suits collection continues this journey by reviving silk velvet craftsmanship. Velvet, a fabric once reserved for royalty, has been transformed by WeaverStory’s artisans into versatile silhouettes suited for weddings, festive gatherings, and winter soirées. The hand-embroidered motifs, created with Zardozi and Resham threads, pay homage to regal opulence while remaining wearable and contemporary.
