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.
