A Punjabi Suit House · From Punjab

TEEYAN

ਤੀਆਂ

The festival of women · of swings, of song,
of coming home

She grew up on this swing, under this tree.
Wherever she goes now, it still keeps her place — and so do we.

Teeyan · ਤੀਆਂ · The Festival of Women

Once a year the daughters came home. They tied the peengh to the highest branch, formed the gidha ring, and remembered every woman they had been.
We still make the suits they wear — for a whole life of it.

ਉੱਚੇ ਟਾਹਣੇ ਪੀਂਘ ਪਾ ਦੇ,
ਜਿੱਥੇ ਆਪ ਹੁਲਾਰਾ ਆਵੇ।

Uchay tahne peengh pa de,
jithe aap hulara aave.

“Hang my swing from the highest branch, where it moves on its own.”

From Punjab, to her door

The village travels
with her.

She may wake in Toronto, in Surrey, in London, in California. But the morning she opens the box, the smell of the thread takes her home — to a courtyard, a swing, her mother’s hands.

Every TEEYAN suit is stitched in Punjab and carried, duties paid, to wherever she now lives. So that no matter how far she has gone, a piece of the pind arrives folded in ivory tissue.

Phulkari by Named Hands

We know who stitched it.

Every flower is counted, not printed. Worked thread by thread in Punjab — phulkari, dabka, gota and marori — by women whose hands have done this since their own mothers taught them. Weeks of work in a single dupatta.

We name the hands, not hide them behind a number. So when she wears it, she wears someone’s patience, someone’s afternoon in the sun, someone’s whole craft.

Who We Are

We did not start a label.
We started to keep something.

Somewhere between our grandmothers’ trunks and a shop full of the same machine-made suits, a way of dressing began to disappear — the hand-worked Punjabi suit a woman kept for a lifetime, and passed on.

TEEYAN exists to hold that thread. One suit, made slowly, made to measure, made for the woman she is now and every woman she will become — the daughter on the swing, the bride, the mother, the bebe who still dances every Teeyan in her finest phulkari.

We are a small house in Punjab, sending our craft to her, wherever she is. That is the whole of it.

For every woman she becomes.TEEYAN · ਤੀਆਂ · Made in Punjab
