Maharani

In January this year, at short notice, Sarah was asked to organise a trip to India, in particular, Rajasthan. It was to become a journey / holiday of a lifetime, thanks to her impeccable arrangements, and that of her sister organisation in India. She took account of all our interests and therefore did not pursue the somewhat hackneyed route which tends to be favoured by less imaginative firms. We will never forget that trip which opened our eyes to the exceptional sights, sounds and colours of India and we cannot wait to return. Sarah Mahaffy, and her sister company in India, cherished us from the moment we arrived to the moment we left India, and we cannot thank them enough; they were so incredibly professional and thoughtful each and every day of our two-week journey.

I met Sarah Mahaffy the founder and owner of Maharani when she exhibited at the National Geographic Society a few weeks ago. She has a passion for East Indian textiles and this is apparent in the ladies designer wear she sells at her shop in Fulham Road. The first thing I noticed was the quality which was far superior to the quality which ones associates with Indian made clothes. Then the stunning colours and wide choice of silk dresses,coats and scarves, not to mention the cotton padded jackets. Also on show were some interesting antique textiles with the most incredible hand sewn designs. Having now visited the shop, I can only say it is like entering another world, a sumptuous feast for the eyes.

A treasure trove of authentic textiles and garments, outstanding quality and variety.The owner Sarah Mahaffy has In-depth knowledge about all her stock. It is always a wonderful experience to visit her shop.

a wonderful array of stock!
