Bring craftsmanship into the heart of your home. Step into a world where tradition and artistry shape the spaces.

Introducing our new Bandhani table runners.

This cloth is the result of a design collaboration between Maiwa and master Bandhani artisans from the Kachchh Desert of Gujarat, Western India. The handwoven cotton cloth becomes a canvas—where every motif, every line, is brought to life through the intricate translation of thousands of hand-tied knots. There’s a quiet poetry in seeing a design reimagined in this way—each dot a gesture of time, care, and tradition.

HANDWOVEN SHEETS

We exist to create beautiful artisan cloth. The idea of creating handwoven naturally dyed bedding sheets to sleep under...well it sounded absolutely dreamy.

Traditional embroidery has always had a role in the world. It has always been a visual statement of skill. It has always been an expression of beauty. It has always worked to transform a plain piece of cloth into something extraordinary.

CARAVAN BLANKETS

Nights in the desert can be cold. When the sun goes down and the heat of the day leaves the earth, everything goes quiet. The air can be chilly, but nomadic pastoralists keep themselves warm with these robust and dramatic wool blankets.

A PATCHWORK HISTORY OF RURAL LIFE

THERE IS ONLY ONE OF EACH QUILT

Fields of colour, a familiar favourite cloth patched into place, a play of fabric. All pieced together and covered with tight running stitches. These vintage quilts have been cherished for years, worn out, re-made and given new life. They are medium-weight and big personality.

The weavers of Bhujodi are known as some of the most accomplished artisans working in handloom today. They have a wide range of skills and can bring their traditional design sense to play in many formats. See, for example, this incredible selection of panel blankets, bed covers, throws, scarves, and shawls.

One or two-of a-kind only

A piece that you will cherish and pass on from generation to generation. Featuring intricate handstitching that is sewn through all layers so the design is present on either side of the quilt. This piece is created from several layers of cotton giving it a nice weight. Great for use as a bedspread, tablecloth, or wall hanging.
