Hi, I’m Paulomi — maker, colour-lover, storyteller, and the hands and heart behind Handmade by Tinni.

I’ve always been drawn to colour, texture and joyful design — long before this brand existed. When I was fourteen, my elder sister came home with a bag bursting with wooden and ceramic beads. That simple gift changed everything. I began playing with them, knotting and threading, and soon I was making earrings that I just knew should be worn. I still remember sitting cross-legged at a local book fair in India, nervously waiting for people to notice — and watching my creations sell out in hours. That feeling of joy, freedom and possibility has never left me.

​

Life led me down different paths — careers, family and moves from India to London — but that creative spark never dimmed. At forty, I finally followed that dream and Handmade by Tinni was born — a celebration of colour, craft and courage.

​

My designs are inspired by vibrant cultures, bold colour palettes and the beautifully expressive people who wear them. I specialise in handcrafted textile jewellery using organic cotton, traditional macramé and rope-knotting techniques, blending old-world craft with contemporary style that makes you feel seen when you wear it.
