Eva Maria, a recently established resort wear brand aims to combine the ancient art of hand weave, print and embroidery to produce unique leisure wear for the Australian market, with the hope of going global.

Through the use of various colours, textures, printing and embroidery techniques, Australian designer Mary Varghese has created a distinctive blend of traditional and modern pieces which make up the Eva Maria range.

Inspired by the power of happy, vibrant colours, Eva Maria supports the sustainability of the skilled Indian artisans who facilitate the production of these unique pieces.

See Eva Maria’s head-turning collection at Fashion Exposed from 22-24 February, 2014 at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre.
