Chandni Chowk specialises in textiles, hand made in India and Bangladesh by wonderfully skilled crafts people to a very high quality. We are a fair trade company producing two main fashion collections annually (Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter) along with several satellite collections usually with something extra special about them such as our Tussah silk collection or Organic cotton range. We also have a constantly updated Interiors collection which follows no set seasons, it simply grows and changes as and when inspiration dictates! To compliment both of these departments we have a range of accessories and jewellery.Established by Rosalind Price and Paul Garrod in 1978, joined by Suzie Murrow in 1996, Chandni Chowk acquired its name from an early customer who said we reminded her of the ancient ‘Chandni Chowk’ market in Delhi. The name is Hindi and roughly translates as “shiny/silver/bright—place/area”. At the time, the company was based on a table in the famous Barnstaple Pannier Market; it later progressed into the upstairs of the wonderful Heavens Above restaurant and then to the site of the first permanent Chandni Chowk store in Barnstaple. Today the company is still based firmly in the south west with our HQ housing the design facility, administration and central warehouse in deepest beautiful Devon. We now have six branches and a well-established wholesale business.
