BANDHINI DESIGN HOUSE
Celebrating 30 Years
Bandhini is a seed grown from a small pod and kept special by our close-knit ties since 1993. Our favourite things are what nature gives — from trees, cocoons & seeds.

Family is important to us. Bandhini was founded by the joining of 2 families from across the globe, the Schafflers and the Narains. Mithoo and Sweety and their sons, Sharan and Karan, continue to work together with Tai and the Bandhini Australia team, creating unique one-of-a-kind designs inspired by culture and nature.
What Makes Us Special
We believe our products are beautiful and functional without cost to human or environmental life.
We strive to keep our product handcrafted, without the use of heavy petrol-powered machinery. We use handwoven natural fibres that are vat dyed with natural dyes — having no harsh impact on the environment.
Our products are made from the earth, and after a lifetime of love, will gently return to the earth.
We have a strong focus on ethical labour. We work with our craftspeople to stay in their local villages, ensuring they are not displaced for work.
We believe that without support, many ancient crafts will become extinct in the near future as generatIons move from craft-based production into petro-chemical production.
That’s why we are making it our mission to keep craftsmanship alive.
Our Experience
Bandhini is celebrating 30 years of designing beautiful handmade textiles.
We have worked with many incredible clients such as Spicers Retreats, Opal Aged Care, Gaia Resort, Sofitel Hotels, Kokomo Resort and The Reef House, suppling both indoor and outdoor cushions, artwork and bedding.
We were proudly nominated as an American Arts Award Nominee and have a strong presence in the commercial styling industry.
Our Designs
All our incredibly unique designs are that of Tai Schaffler, the founder of Bandhini. Our designs are manufactured out of our own production unit in India, where we have complete control over the construction and quantity of our product. With no middle man, this keeps the cost of our products down.
