Marasim

Artistry crosses cultures and continents; it thrives in the tiniest villages that don’t even appear on a map. We can help you discover styles and materials from far-off places, unlocking dazzling craft techniques all inspired by a rich artisanal heritage. Based in New York City’s garment district, Marasim can source best artisans and sustainable materials for your next project with our team in the field.

Marasim—the Hindi word for being connected to our roots—is at the essence of who we are, our ancestry, and the artistry of creating with our hands. Marasim discovers unique artisans, uncovering rare, rich textile making, embellishing, and farming practices previously thought long-lost to time. We can borrow inspiration from the past, get creative, and build a new design with you to make a unique work that is all your own.

Marasim is to the fashion and design industry as the Silk Road was to Marco Polo—opening eyes to an even larger world of unique textiles, handicrafts, and artisans continuing the fabricating traditions of many generations. Marasim introduces their craft to the finest design houses and ateliers around the world. We invite designers and textile connoisseurs of all levels, from all walks of life, to view our archives and find inspiration, a fresh perspective, or a cultural point of view. We are not traveling into the heartland to find you the cheapest way to make something. Instead, Marasim works to discover the diamond in the rough, the most exquisite work that begs you to examine and marvel at its intrinsic beauty. Each of the artisans is carefully reviewed and vetted to deliver flawless, high-quality work; in return, we make sure they get the compensation they deserve.
