About House Of Threads

House Of Threads is a Melbourne-based Indian fashion and jewellery label, built around a simple love: the textiles, crafts and colour of the Indian subcontinent, worn in everyday Australian life.

Indian textiles, curated in Melbourne

Every piece we stock is chosen by hand. We work with hand block printers, Phulkari embroiderers and oxidised silver artisans whose techniques have been passed down through generations — Ajrakh resist-dyeing from Kutch, mirror work from Gujarat, temple jewellery motifs from South India. These aren't mass-produced imports. They are small runs, often one-of-a-kind, and when a piece sells out it usually doesn't come back.

We're based in Melbourne, Victoria, and we ship across Australia.

What we stock

  • Sarees — Ajrakh and Bandhani modal silks, floral georgettes, and lightweight drapes made for Australian summers.
  • Dupattas & scarves — hand-embroidered Phulkari, floral vine work and sequin-bordered bridal dupattas.
  • Ethnic jewellery — oxidised silver temple earrings, Kutchi mirror work, chandbalis, and gold-finish necklace sets.
  • Men's kurta sets — embroidered silk and cotton kurtas for weddings, Diwali, Eid and festive gatherings.

Find us around Melbourne

Alongside the online store, we run pop-up stalls at weekend markets and host small home exhibitions around Melbourne, where you can see and feel the fabrics in person before you buy. It's our favourite way to sell — a saree is a very different thing in your hands than on a screen.

If you'd like to know where we'll be next, or you'd like to host a styling afternoon for your own friends, message us on Instagram at @houseofthreads_melbourne or through our contact page.

Dressing for the occasion

Most of what we sell is bought for a moment: a wedding, a Diwali dinner, a Navratri night, a first Eid in a new city, a birthday gift for someone's mum. We keep that in mind when we choose stock. Pieces should feel special enough for the occasion and comfortable enough to actually enjoy it.

Shipping and orders

We ship Australia-wide from Melbourne. Local Melbourne pickup can usually be arranged — just ask. If you've seen something on our Instagram that isn't on the site yet, send us a DM; there's often more in stock than we've had time to photograph.
