Established in 2012, Mekhann was founded to bring new life to a textile tradition shaped over two thousand years.
Where meticulous handwork meets refined design, we produce the finest hand embroidered and naturally dyed silk textiles for luxury interiors. Each creation forms part of a limited, ongoing collection and carries the same attention with which it was produced. From the initial sketch to the final product, every stage is informed by intricate artistry.
Rooted in long-held global practices, we unite classic design sensibilities with a measured visual language. Each object is formed with purpose, crafted to belong in elegant spaces, considered interiors and with those who live consciously among the things they choose.
Our Mission
We believe textiles build atmosphere by holding both feeling and form, rather than serving only as decoration. They invite emotion and hold the stillness of something brought to life with intention.
What we develop is guided by cultural legacy, influencing how it is produced, seen and shared. In close collaboration with master artisans in Anatolia and Central Asia, each creation preserves a living bond with tradition while resting naturally in the classic or contemporary home.
Composed by admiration are our values for the legacy we represent, the materials we select, the communities we engage. Mekhann textiles are designed for longevity, consciously positioned as an alternative to a culture of disposability and rapid consumption. We prioritise developing objects of the highest standard, produced deliberately to live with you and far outlast passing trends.
Craftsmanship
Craftsmanship is not a stage to complete. It is the beginning of everything. Each pencil line, each thread traced by hand, follows a rhythm defined by patience and precision.
The essence of a fabric emerges directly from the attention taken in its formation; its character expressed through texture, density and quiet harmony. Throughout the entire process, every movement is informed by knowledge, marked by consideration and anchored deeply in esteem for cultural tradition.
Sustainability
True luxury emerges quietly, revealed through choices that need no explanation. It lives in the clarity of materials, methods left unforced, and scale held deliberately.
Sustainability at Mekhann is not a claim or a message. It is simply the way our work is arranged, each decision taken carefully and carried evenly from what is seen to what remains hidden.
The Mekhann Experience
How one experiences Mekhann follows the same principles that guide our work. From the materials we select to the environment we shape, every element carries intention. Whether encountered online or in person, coherence extends through arrangement and atmosphere. Spaces are composed thoughtfully, designed to encourage stillness, awareness and an unhurried pace.
Mekhann Chelsea
Mekhann Chelsea is located on Fulham Road in South Kensington. Anchored by institutions, studios and private galleries, the surrounding area carries a continuity of design culture. Arrangement here is less about display, more about how elements relate without pressure.
Mekhann Mayfair
Mekhann Mayfair is located at No.12 within the Royal Arcade, Old Bond Street. In the late nineteenth century, this same unit was home to HRH Queen Victoria’s shirtmaker, a detail that later gave the arcade its name. The space now draws those with an appreciation for textile, proportion and the ritual of handwork.
The Founder's Perspective
Mekhann began through steady refinement rather than fixed plans. Over time, a certain logic emerged in how things were arranged, what was held back and what was allowed to stay. Into this early structure, The Founder’s Perspective offers a closer view. A way of thinking remains within it, guiding the work as it takes form.
