Description
A distinctive check pattern weave design by Stitchwallah.
Hilary has built lasting relationships with local artisans in India to bring you handmade, naturally woven and dyed textiles which infuse distinct Ikat patterns into her creations.
Ikat, meaning that the thread is dyed strategically in different places prior to weaving, to create an overall pattern once woven up. The unbleached cotton is dyed with natural plant dye and woven by skilled artisans in Rajasthan, India who still specialize in these age old traditions.

Handwoven Ikat Textiles Rooted in Craft and Connection.
Founded in Aotearoa in 2019 by textile specialist Hilary Niederer, Stitchwallah is a celebration of traditional Indian weaving, natural dyeing, and the rich cultural relationships built through years of sourcing fabric with care. Hilary's background as a costumier spans theatre, film, and fashion across New Zealand, London, and the United States. But it was a transformative experience working on a Bollywood film in Mumbai that forged deep ties with artisan communities and inspired the beginnings of Stitchwallah.
Each piece reflects a respect for process and provenance, with distinctive Ikat patterns woven by hand and dyed using time-honoured methods. With a deep appreciation for texture, colour, and story, Stitchwallah’s textiles carry the spirit of their makers — crafted for living, layering, and lasting.
