Maiyet is a fresh luxury label for whom social entrepreneurship and the promotion of traditional craft go hand in hand with contemporary design. Maiyet work with artisan block printers, weavers, embroiderers and jewellery workers in India and Kenya to create beautiful womenswear using the wealth of skill they have identified in their craftspeople.
Their website seems a bit temperamental but the blog has a wealth of imagery and information.

Currently stocked by Barneys in New York, Maiyet look to capture the opportunities provided by the high end of the market to faciliate growth and development within their artisan communities through fair wages and investment. And thereby providing their clients with an exquisite product in both style and provenance.
