A JOURNEY TO INDIA

Introducing Chandan Whittle, a new homeware brand inspired by the colours, crafts and culture of India. Founded by Kam Chandan, the brand follows a personal quest to discover and celebrate her Indian heritage after her parents emigrated to the UK in 1963. Specialising in cushions and prints, the pieces are created by talented artisans in India using techniques passed down through the generations, which Kam hopes will inspire the next.
