About Heartfelt Designs

Heartfelt designs was born when I decided I wanted to do something just for me and I no longer had any excuses or distractions to stop me. I’d had a 25 year career in retail- within home textiles and fashion, working for other people helping them realise their dreams. It was time for me to make some of my own happen.

So in 2010 I visited India for the first time and fell in love with the country, the people and the incredible handicrafts that they produce. I then spent 4 years exhibiting and selling wholesale at trade shows here in Australia and in 2018 - I escorted my first group of intrepid travellers around Rajasthan. Through word of mouth these tours became a fixture twice a year - fitting them in alongside my production. I have now added the beautiful tropical South to my destinations.

My focus has shifted from wholesale to now introducing people to the country that has become my second home! The "retailer" within me still has to purchase items I find irresistible, to share them with my customers back here.  Each item is unique and deserves recognition and a new home - with YOU.

I adore colour, and handloomed textiles are my weakness.

The beautiful old wood block prints used in Indian textiles and watching the artisians producing them still gives me joy!

I hope you enjoy browsing my website and even more importantly, love the items you purchase.
