Since childhood I have been lucky enough to travel back to India regularly. Over the years I have enjoyed shopping there. Wandering around the bazaar, the colours and scents, a feast for the senses.

Over the years, I have furnished my modern home with fabrics, tableware and wonderfully unique décor all made in India. Shopping in India has evolved, advances in design and technology has meant that India has an incredible market of home grown talent across the creative and artistic spectrum. In the last decade there has been an explosion of modern, luxurious and boutique concept stores that have opened catering for the sophisticated global citizen.

I have made it my mission to let people know that there is more to Indian crafts than mirror work and elephants. In Storewalla's debut collection we feature a range of products showing that Indian made goods can be exquisite, modern and brilliant.

If you are looking for gifts ideas for someone special, or an easy way to change the look of a room or just love eco friendly and sustainable presents, we have something for you.
