Bringing The Magic Of India
To Ireland In Brilliant Colour.
Behind every Chandan Whittle piece there’s a story, a memory, and a sense of tradition. No matter your heritage or where you call home, we hope to inspire and share our love of India.
Each design is born from the colourful culture and comes to life through techniques that have been passed down for generations by our female-led artisan partners in India.
Whether you're looking to add a pop to crisp whites in the bedroom or inviting guests (one day soon!) into an Instagram-worthy living room, we have something for everyone’s style - from bright yellows to cool blues, bold geometrics to organic florals!
Products range from quilts, cushions, kitchen linens to toiletry bags and prints. Currently available online at www.chandanwhittle.com with a new range of cushions launching in Anthropologie this summer.
"While we pride ourselves on our unique designs, it’s equally as important to us to provide sustainable employment for a local group of female-led artisans in Karur, India in an effort to support the local community and revive the industry.” - Kam Chandan
We believe that everyone including our planet should be treated with fairness and thoughtfulness.
Our Social Responsibility
We strive to create consistent employment and positive change for our artisan partners so that they can positively impact their children and their communities.
Our Environmentally Responsibility
At Chandan Whittle we’re trying to do our bit to encourage sustainable living by upcycling fabric waste and turning them into hand crafted products that are environmentally conscious. Every few months we will introduce new fabrics and new designs and continue to reduce our carbon footprint. We’re committed to bringing beautiful, high quality products that meet international standard for production and are certified to the Global Organic Textile Standard.
Designs inspired by India. Textiles made with care.

About Chandan Whittle
Chandan Whittle launched in Ireland in 2020, but the story dates back 50 years to when Kam's (The Founder) parents emigrated to the U.K. From a young age, they inspired her through music, traditions, and her mother’s cooking which left her hungry to learn about her Indian heritage. And so, the vision for her colourful designs was born as she longed to discover not only her heritage, but also relive her childhood memories and learn more about her parents lives growing up in India.
About Kam
As a graduate from Goldsmiths University with a degree in design, Kam followed the career path as an Art Director in London, Dublin and New York. While she honed her craft in the advertising industry, her passion for design was reignited with the launch of Chandan Whittle. Her desire to create products that celebrate culture, diversity, and craftsmanship serves as an outlet to flex her experience and knowledge of design. To her, it’s important to honour her family’s life experience in their native India. It’s equally as important to honour the local artisans by creating more reliable opportunities to earn a decent income through traditional craftsmanship, in turn giving their families a better start in life. As a new mother, she looks forward to the day she can pass down the beauty of Indian heritage to her children.
