Mapcha | Modern Himalayan Concept

LIVING TRADITIONS : EDITION II

himalayan living, reimagined for everyday

From home to elsewhere. Following our first chapter, A Return Home in Ladakh, Edition II unfolds as a continuation, but beyond home — in a space of movement, migration, and everyday life. The collection reflects the continuity of Himalayan silhouettes beyond geography ; in rhythm, form, and sensibility. Crafted in natural fabrics and tones that are both bright and earthy, these pieces translate cultural memory into contemporary wear, celebrating how identity is lived by us, and by those beyond our community.

About The Brand

Mapcha was founded in 2018 with a vision to distil the essence of Himalayan design into products meant for the modern individual. Derived from the Tibetan word for ‘peacock’, Mapcha reinterprets traditional motifs as they move out of their original contexts into a new location. Based in the Tibetan enclave of Majnu ka tila, in New Delhi, we present a window into the life of the mountains through the artistic expressions of those who trace their roots there. Thoughtfully designing and curating our lifestyle and clothing brand, we hope to bring a bit of the mountains to homes everywhere.

Modern Heirlooms

The Modern Heirlooms Jewellery Collection is a tribute to the rich heritage of Tibetan jewellery designs through contemporary pieces that are simple, light, and effortlessly wearable. This collection reintroduces the iconic Gau and Akor designs.

Each piece is meticulously crafted from brass, plated with 18k gold, and adorned with faux turquoise stones, honouring the materials and motifs that have defined Tibetan jewellery for centuries.

In Tibetan culture, jewellery holds deep spiritual and cultural significance. It is seen as an auspicious offering to the Buddhas and a symbol of rank, wealth, and devotion. By preserving the essence of these historic designs, the Modern Heirlooms Jewellery Collection invites you to carry a piece of this meaningful tradition into your everyday life.

Mapcha Artist Series: Ngoshi

Tibetan artist Ngoshi redefines traditional narratives through her masterful paper collages. From a young age, Ngoshi nurtured a deep passion for drawing and imagination – a spark that, despite early practical detours, ultimately led her back to art after an MBA and a period of dedicated volunteer work. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she encountered striking images of traditional Tibetan dress, and the vibrant colours and intricate patterns of these garments became the catalyst for her renewed creative journey.
