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.
