The Northeast of India has always been a hidden gem when it comes to fashion. Each of the Eight Sisters — Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura and Sikkim — carries a legacy of intricate weaves, bold colours, and patterns inspired by nature and culture. From the handwoven mekhela sador of Assam to the vibrant shawls of Nagaland, from the bamboo-inspired motifs of Mizoram to the detailed embroidery of Manipur, every state tells its story through fabric and design.
At MAD Genius, we’re reimagining this heritage for the modern world. By bringing these inspirations onto 100% organic cotton and bamboo t-shirts, we make it easy for anyone, anywhere, to wear a piece of Northeast India. It’s fashion that feels good — for you, and for the planet.
We’re already working on fusion collections that blend the traditional richness of the Eight Sisters with contemporary style. It takes time and effort to do justice to these legacies — but trust us, it’ll be worth the wait.
When you wear our t-shirts, you’re not just wearing a design. You’re carrying forward the living stories of the Eight Sisters. 🌱
