Bholu


Bholu is the inspirational company developed by Australian designer Jodie Fried.

Bholu products are designed in Australia and bought to life by traditional Gujarati women artisand from the remote desert communities of The Rann of Katchchh, Western Gujarat, India. The pieces are hand embroidered using traditional techniques. Bholu's philosophy is to create pieces we love and live with while benefiting the people they work with along the way.
The childrens range is particularly special as the designs come from young children in underprivileged slum communities. Bholu is proudly a fair trade company and part proceeds go back to the woman and their communities, along with funding education facilities for underpriviledged kids.


Currently stocked in Melbourne at Fragile, Sth Melbourne & Hub Furniture....or take a look for futher stockists here if you're in another part of the world.
