Eight years ago, Marija Ivković began her silk story, today recognizable as MAIA.Homedress — a brand that returned tenderness and dignity to the material that has always been a symbol of femininity. The idea of a homedress dress, which is worn at home, but can easily become an outfit for a festive event, came from the desire to make everyday life more beautiful, slower and more intimate. In the process, silk became a natural ally, a material that carries both comfort and luxury, without needing to be emphasized to be noticed.

Premium store in the Old Town: space for aesthetics, touch and ritual

The MAIA.Homedress shop is located in the Old Town, on Vojvode Dobrnjca street, and is conceived as a real little world of its own — calm, bright and classy, but not at all distant. Entering the space feels like entering a small, gentle ritual: scented accents lead to a rack of silk dresses, soothing tones of the interior accompany every look, and the atmosphere invites you to stay longer than you planned. This is not a boutique to be visited on the way; this is the destination you return to when you want to touch the silk, see the colors and cuts live and feel the texture under your fingers.

The offer in the store has been carefully curated to cover the entire spectrum of silk clothing. Dresses for everyday and festive moments, pajamas that raise morning rituals to the level of a little luxury, nightgowns that follow the body line and turn rest into aesthetics — everything was created with the idea that silk should be part of the lifestyle, not just for special occasions. In addition to the wardrobe, the store also offers robes and pieces designed for intimate moments at home, where the touch of the material plays the most important role.

The selection of homemade jewelry gives the space a special charm. The shop features jewelry by local designers who work with surgical steel, silver, gold, porcelain, clay and concrete. Each piece is carefully selected to complete the story of the silk — sometimes with a contrast of materials, sometimes with a harmony of colors, and always with a unique, handmade aesthetic. It is a combination that further emphasizes the brand's identity: local, authentic, refined.

Scents that remember: the beginning of a new care

The idea of starting your own line of silk care products came from personal experience and relationship with the material. Last year, the store presented Maia Ceremony Scent, the first scent for silk produced in Serbia, which is gently sprayed on the fabric and introduces a completely new ritual in the care of clothes. That olfactory moment — when silk connects with an emotion, a memory, an atmosphere — was crucial for the next step in the development of the brand.

It was from this inspiration that the new silk detergent was created, the promotion of which was recently held in the shop. Created to protect the fibers, emphasize the aromatherapy effect and restore the silk to the delicate softness that dry cleaning often destroys, this product represents a return to authentic rituals. Maria often points out that our grandmothers washed silk with their hands and patience, and that touch was just as important as the maintenance process itself. The new detergent, mild and especially fragrant, is designed to remind exactly that kind of attention — attention that restores the feeling of bliss, which today is often lost in the rush of everyday life.

A call to return to tenderness

At a time when natural materials are often exposed to aggressive washing, Maia suggests a return to tenderness. If silk knows how to take care of us — then it's time for us to reciprocate with equally thoughtful care. That's why this detergent is more than a washing agent; it complements the brand's philosophy, a small luxury that fits into rituals, smells and memories.

Everything that makes up the world of MAIA.Homedress — silk collections, jewelry by local designers, special fragrances and gentle care products — can be found at one address, in a store that combines tradition and modernity, emotion and aesthetics, texture and memory.
