About Our Brands
Rajani Baker - London, UK
Rajani Baker is our eponymous brand of products developed by us and brought to life by amazing businesses from across the Indian diaspora. Our collection started with our range of four Luxury Candles, designed with Essebe Designs and hand-poured in Manchester, England. We then collaborated with Spice Kitchen for our own limited edition Chai-Spiced Hot Chocolate Tins.
In May/June 2025 we are excited to launch our new fashion range. We will be offering a range of hand block printed clothing and accessories including an exclusive design from our own original blocks (with many more to follow!). We take pride in our partnerships with two family-owned businesses in Jaipur, India for block print fabric production and garment design / manufacturing services. Each collection is created sustainably - we only print exactly as much fabric as is required for each collection and the scraps from each pattern are reused to make our candle bags. We are excited to introduce tops, jackets, duffle bags, hair accessories, and candle bags in our debut collection. Additionally, we work with a group of artisans in Delhi, India who specialise in beaded handicrafts. These artisans work tirelessly to craft our various designs for earrings, pins, headbands, and clutch bags.
All of our own branded products are initially envisaged by our founder, Victoria Harman, and brought to life through her partnerships with these incredibly talented Indian master artisans. In addition to her business studies, Victoria studied fashion patternmaking at the prestigious UAL: Central St. Martin's in London and has worked at several global fashion and jewellery brands including ASOS, Betsey Johnson, Erwin Pearl, Levi's, and Vineyard Vines.
In addition to our own eponymous brand, we are also very proud to stock products from these small businesses. Learn more below!

Craft Boat - Jaipur, India
Based in Jaipur, India, Craft Boat works extensively with recycled paper and natural fibre textiles. Their collections reflect a sense of intentional use of material and craft as well as honoring slower processes, as they have always aimed to make long lasting, functional products. Their community holds them afloat - their "boat". "On the Cutting Table" is a practice that Craft Boat has been working on to convert the last bits of 100% cotton textile scraps from garment and fabric manufacturing industries into sheets of handmade paper. This is a process done by their team of expert paper makers in Sanganer, Jaipur. Learn more about the paper making process here.

P Squuare - Mumbai, India
When we were recently in Paris visiting a few trade shows, we had the wonderful opportunity to meet Indian sisters Priya and Priyanka of P Squuare Fashion Jewellery. Their intricate designs are hand made with beautiful attention to embroidery, sequin, and beadwork detail, taking master artisans many hours to produce each piece. The quality is just outstanding, as are the materials used. Add some colour and fun to your closet with our selection of their playful earrings.
Namaste UK - Skipton, UK
In 1995, in search of some adventure, Namaste founder Sam Brummitt flew to Kathmandu, Nepal with a round-the-world ticket. After an inspirational trek to Mount Everest base camp, followed by 6 months circumnavigating the Indian Subcontinent on re-conditioned ex Indian Army Enfield Bullets and sleeping under the stars at the side of the road, the idea for the business slowly developed. Fuelled by a conversation one day in Rajasthan with the owner of a small textile business and now lifelong friend and a key supplier, Ganpat suggested Sam came back home and start a business. Namaste is dedicated to sourcing beautiful fairly traded products from the far corners of the world, embracing traditional artisan skills. They are passionate about ensuring their products where possible are made from environmentally friendly, sustainable and recycled materials.
Madhu Chocolate - Austin, TX, USA
Madhu Chocolate is a company born out of a passion for combining traditional Indian flavors with the richness of chocolate. Founders Harshit and Elliott source their cacao from the Tumaco region of Colombia, then meticulously roast, crack, winnow, grind, flavor, temper, and wrap all our bars by hand. Their inspiration comes from Harshit's mom. Her inventive recipes and incredible chai have fueled Harshit's lifelong passion for food. They named their business after her: Madhu, which means honey or sweet in Hindi. At Madhu Chocolate, they believe that sweetness goes beyond just their products. That's why they live by the mantra, "Be Madhu to one another." They strive to spread kindness and positivity in everything they do, from their beautiful packaging inspired by Indian textiles to the gorgeous bars themselves. They pour their heart and soul into every aspect of the business, and hope you can taste the love in every bite. They are a 100% LGBTQ+ and 50% BIPOC minority owned and led small business. We are thrilled to bring this exciting brand to the UK customer for the first time! Update: Madhu Chocolate will sadly cease operations as of May 2025 after 7 great years in the business. Be sure to place your orders for our final stock of this amazing product while it lasts!
