Mazzème [mah. Zay. may] is your destination for designer-curated, trendsetting pieces from India and Southeast Asia. We're not just another e-commerce platform – we're a cultural bridge connecting you with contemporary designs that honor timeless artistry.

What sets us apart is our commitment to showcasing non-traditional aesthetics that go beyond stereotypes. Every piece is handpicked by our founders who live between cultures, ensuring you receive trend-forward lifestyle products that tell authentic stories while fitting seamlessly into modern homes.

Mazzème was founded by Vish Kumar and Saumya Sharma, a couple who experienced life as immigrants between India and North America. After moving back to India in 2023 with their six-month-old son, they discovered an incredible world of contemporary Indian and Southeast Asian design that wasn't accessible to global markets.

Vish, a filmmaker and cultural enthusiast, and Saumya, a fashion designer behind the label MadSamTinZin, combined their expertise to curate products that reflect the vibrant, evolving cultures they know intimately – not as they once were, but as they are today.

Every product is personally curated by our founders based on three key criteria: outstanding craftsmanship, contemporary design sensibility, and authentic cultural connection. We partner with emerging designers and skilled artisans who are reimagining traditional techniques for modern living.

We build direct relationships with our makers, ensuring fair compensation and maintaining the story behind each piece. Our selection process prioritizes quality, sustainability, and pieces that bring genuine cultural insight into your home.

Our curated collection spans fashion apparel, accessories, home décor, and distinctive lifestyle products. From statement lighting and heritage furniture to contemporary textiles and artisan-crafted accessories – each piece blends modern aesthetics with traditional craftsmanship.

We focus on trend-forward designs that work beautifully in contemporary spaces while honoring the rich cultural heritage of their makers. Every item is chosen to inspire purposeful living and meaningful connection.

Absolutely. Every product is handcrafted using traditional techniques, often passed down through generations. We work directly with artisans and emerging designers who maintain these authentic practices while creating contemporary designs.

Each piece comes with information about its maker and the techniques used, giving you insight into the cultural significance and craftsmanship behind your purchase. We believe transparency about our supply chain is essential to building trust and connection.

Our products are designed to age beautifully with proper care. Each item includes specific care instructions tailored to its materials and construction methods. Generally, we recommend gentle handling, avoiding harsh chemicals, and following traditional care practices when possible.

For textiles, hand washing or gentle machine cycles are often recommended. For metals and wood pieces, occasional conditioning helps maintain their luster. When in doubt, contact us – we're happy to provide detailed care guidance for your specific pieces.

Many of our pieces are produced in small batches or are completely one-of-a-kind due to the handcrafted nature and unique materials used. This exclusivity is part of what makes each piece special.

Product pages clearly indicate availability status. For popular designs, we work with artisans to create additional pieces when possible, though slight variations ensure each item maintains its handmade character. Join our newsletter to be notified about new arrivals and restocks.
