Handmade Scarves, Décor and Traditionally Crafted Fabrics.
Welcome to my studio shop.
Here you’ll find a collection of handmade textiles gathered through travel and created through traditional processes such as indigo dyeing, botanical dyeing, hand weaving and embroidery.
Many pieces are sourced directly from global village artisans, while others are naturally dyed in my home studio using indigo and plant dyes.
Each textile is one of a kind and shaped by slow, hand-crafted methods.
You’ll find scarves, sarongs, hand made decor fabrics, table runners, unique tribal textile wall hangings as well as pom poms, trims and upcycled indigo fabric packs for you to create with.
New textiles are added regularly.
Thank you for supporting traditional craft and slow handmade work.
Pallu Design emerged from a passion for collecting vibrant and traditional fabrics - textiles created by tribal cultures around the world, featuring organic designs and colourful, traditional motifs. ‘Pallu’ is the intricate, decorative end of an Indian sari, used every day by a woman as a protective cover for her head and small child, and is always stunning!
My extensive travels to cultures across Asia, India and South East Asia have enabled valuable interactions with villagers who create natural dyed textiles using block prints, batik, indigo dye, weaving and artisan embroidery. They produce handmade fabrics for their homes and costumes - weaving a story of their rich culture in very simple environments. Such a delightful feast for the creative senses!
My early exploration of creativity with fabrics and yarns - spinning, weaving, dyeing, block printing, stitching, knitting etc has given me insight into the processes, effort and joy involved in the creation of beautiful, ethnic fabrics. My outdoor indigo and botanic dyeing studio is in the tropics of northern Australia.
I invite you to share this wealth of color and traditional textile design as you indulge your love of natural fabrics and handmade designs from Pallu Design. By your appreciation and enjoyment of these rich cultural arts, you are ensuring the continuation of these traditions.
