The simple charm of patchwork is back! Reworked for modern lifestyles and fashion tastes, our design team has come up trumps with new contemporary designs of home furnishings and personal accessories to delight and inspire. A highly work-intensive heritage craft, our authentic Indian fabrics are hand screen printed, building distinctive patterns. Slight variations are exclusive characteristics of genuine artisan products.
Our supplier is a husband and wife team who subcontract to disadvantaged groups within their community. This provides a valuable source of income to people who would otherwise struggle to find employment. We have been buying from them for around 10 years. They also support charitable and community based projects.
The Namaste Journey
In 1995, in search of some adventure, founder Sam Brummitt flew to Kathmandu, Nepal with a round-the-world ticket. After an inspirational trek to Mount Everest base camp, followed by 6 months circumnavigating the Indian Subcontinent on re-conditioned ex Indian Army Enfield Bullets and sleeping under the stars at the side of the road, the idea for the business slowly developed. Fuelled by a conversation one day in Rajasthan with the owner of a small textile business and now lifelong friend and a key supplier, Ganpat suggested Sam came back home and started a business.
Starting a business meant earning a living while putting something back into such a beautiful and wonderful part of the world and that’s exactly what happened. Namaste, translated as ‘I greet the spirit within you’ was founded in 1997.
