HIGH COUNTRY Collection NEW ZEALAND
Our High Country Collection celebrates 30 years of Bandhini by paying homage to my heritage...
HOME FOR ME IN CENTRAL OTAGO IS THAT STRONG SMELL OF THYME AS YOU GALLOP YOUR HORSE THROUGH THE ROCKY HILLS, SURROUNDED BY THE POWERFUL AND STURDY OLD MAN AND OLD WOMAN RANGES.
THE ABUNDANT FRUIT ORCHIDS AND THE SMELL OF THE PEACHES AND APRICOTS BEING PRESERVED FOR WINTER.
THE COLD CLUTHA RIVER - DEEP AND SWIFT WITH THE ENCHANTING COLOURS OF EMERALD AND SAPPHIRE COMBINED THAT LURES YOU IN.
THE EVER CHANGING SEASONS OF THE POPLARS AND WEEPING WILLOWS - SHADES FROM YELLOW TO RUST.
FALLEN LEAVES NEATLY RAKED THEN ROLLED IN.
THE MANNOBURN DAMN FROZEN SOLID FROM REPEATED FROSTS GLISTENING IN THE WINTER SUN. THE ULTIMATE PLAYGROUND FOR SKATERS AND CURLERS - BEWARE OF THE EDGES THAT HAVE TAKEN MANY LIVES.
THE BLOSSOMS IN SPRING AND THE FESTIVAL THAT BRINGS - A CELEBRATION OF LIFE AND ARTISTRY THAT WE HAVE WAITED ALL YEAR FOR, WITH THE BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL FLOATS.
-TAI SCHAFFLER, BANDHINI FOUNDER & HEAD DESIGNER

WE DESIGN IT. WE MAKE IT.
WE SUPPORT ARTISANS GLOBALLY.
WE CARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.
What do we use?
We are a bit more organic and earthy here at Bandhini...
We relish that which is entirely hand-crafted, without the use of harmful petrochemical based technologies have eliminated the need for workers and traditional skills, forcing people from poverty, these talented artists end up occupying the slum areas on the fringes of these metropolis.
Our textures consist of hand-spun and hand-woven natural fibres in luxurious combinations contrasting colours of the natural threads. These fabrics and weaves are made in small village-based production, often in very trying circumstances of power outages or political unrest. The result unique to each owner.
