OUR STORY

 
 

Philosophy

Our philosophy is simple - buy what you love and love what you create. We want to bring unique, quality, handmade pieces to your home, and want you to feel good about your purchases through HH Collective.

Feel confident and assured knowing you are supporting families in rural communities around the world and appreciating their hard work and skill in the products that they hand produce.

“I believe that my concept is niche in Australia and benefits the artisan community in regional India. There are a lot of kitschy Indian items available in the market here, but my aim is to expose Australians to the diversity of refined Indian art. I want them to enjoy the warmth, comfort and craftsmanship of all things handmade,” - Preet Taneja

Your home should tell the story of who you are, & be a collection of what you love
— Nate Berkus

How it all started

Inching away from her fulltime employment hold and weaning off her regular pay cheque, she chose to go after a long cherished dream. Putting all her fears aside, Melbourne based young mum Preet Taneja followed her vision of an eclectic interior collection incorporating customised, individual, bespoke items, sourced from artisans and craftspeople from rural India. Preet had a strong belief that if you do what you love, it will never feel like work.

Her daughter Hazel Heer inspired her to launch the brand and is the motivation behind the decision to showcase the HH Collective interiors, accents and jewellery lines.

Preet has worked with interiors and furniture for many years under brands like Plush, Keeki Gallery and Weylandts. She has gained formal education in marketing and also dabbled in advertising. She can enhance a space and craft an aesthetically pleasing, thoughtfully styled look that immediately sparks emotions.

Working with various retailers and dealing with hundreds of clients and buyers made Preet realise that handcrafted designs and antiques are preferred over mass produced, factory made goods.

HH Collective finds each piece in the collection has a story to tell. Talented artists handcrafted them and there is poetry in their finished designs.
