Upcycling has been a core value of the Maharishi ethos. Military surplus is recut and repurposed with cord systems, embroidery and auxiliary functions before a cleansing process is carried out by priests in India, to rid the garment of its previous military associations.
Upcycling military surplus is a permanent feature at Maharishi, transforming unwearable items into ready-to-wear garments and reclaiming them as symbols of peace rather than war.
