Our Story

At Sapling Textiles, we celebrate the rich heritage, intricate techniques, and vibrant colours of Indian textiles. Born from a seed of passion and creativity, we offer a curated collection of fabrics that inspire makers, crafters, and designers alike. Whether you’re a seasoned sewer or a beginner looking to start a new project, our store is here to nurture your creative spirit and bring your ideas to life.

Located in the picturesque town of Maleny, nestled in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, we are a small, family-owned business with a commitment to sustainability, ethical sourcing, and supporting local artisans. Our mission is to bring you the finest Indian fabrics, including 100% cotton, GOTS-certified organic cotton, linen, silk, modal, and velvet—all carefully chosen to inspire quality craftsmanship and creativity.

We believe that fabric is more than just material—it’s an avenue for artistic expression and a way to reconnect with traditional techniques. Our range includes hand-embroidered crewel work by the metre, soft furnishings, bedding, accessories, and an extensive selection of haberdashery. Whether you’re sewing a personalised garment or creating custom home décor, our textiles help transform your vision into reality.

Our Commitment to Quality and Craftsmanship

At Sapling Textiles, we are dedicated to offering a curated selection of high-quality, sustainably sourced fabrics. We work directly with artisans and craftspeople in India to showcase their craftsmanship while supporting their communities. By offering handmade textiles and unique materials, we hope to encourage our customers to move away from mass-produced, synthetic garments and embrace a more conscious, thoughtful approach to crafting and design.

A Sensory Experience

For us, fabric is not just something to buy—it’s something to experience. Our store is a space where you can see, touch, and even smell the beauty of our textiles. As you wander through the shop, you’ll find an array of handcrafted buttons in ceramics, wood, and polymer clay, along with other treasures that celebrate the artistry of our makers. We hope that every visit feels like an inspiring journey into the heart of fabric and craftsmanship.

Whether you're seeking something specific or simply browsing for inspiration, we invite you to explore our collection and discover the perfect fabric for your next creative project. At Sapling Textiles, we're not just selling fabric; we’re sharing the stories, traditions, and artistry of India, bringing them to life for an audience eager to create with care and intention.
