I asked Barinder of Barinder Designs for a unique pocket square design and production for my wedding day. My idea was to incorporate the colours of my wedding suit, which were pink and black, and to have the ‘Flower of Life’ pattern on the pocket square.

Barinder asked for a picture of my suit and began with the design work. Barinder constantly updated me and asked me if I liked her designs. Barinder is very talented and has a keen eye for detail, so I was very pleased with the design she came up with. She also added her own input and suggested that she added my wife and I’s initials to the centre of the garment. This was a beautiful touch and made the piece complete. Before the pocket square was printed, she matched the exact colour to my suit to make sure everything matched up perfectly.

I would like to personally thank Barinder for her time and the final piece of work. The pocket square complimented my wedding outfit perfectly and I received so many comments on how good it looked on my big day.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Barinder Designs for any unique gift, for yourself or your loved ones.

Thanks again

Yours in health,

A few weeks ago, Barinder did a brilliant presentation and the example she used caught my eye and gave me that light bulb moment for a gift for my parents’ golden wedding anniversary. We came with a few ideas, but what I find is that I am not very good with creative things. I know I have the confidence to leave the creative stuff to Barinder, she did not disappoint and produced something truly amazing.

When Susan and I presented the gift to my parents they were just overwhelmed and had the “wow” factor look on their faces. It truly made their day very special.

Barinder is a true inspiration to her profession, she has a wonderful gift and makes some amazing high-quality gifts. I have no hesitation in highly recommending her to my family, friends, colleagues, and business associates and would recommend you do the same immediately.

I wanted to thank you for the wonderful silk scarf you created for my wife Fiona, which she received at Christmas.

Your skill in recreating the colours and images of our time in America and capturing the shapes and shades of the Fall foilage from our photographs and transferring to silk means Fiona has something unique to remind her of our holiday in the Mountains and Forests of Vermont and New Hampshire.

Beyond the scarf itself, the presentation and packaging were very impressive and emphasised the bespoke nature of the gift.

As someone not known for deep or romantic gestures being able to present Fiona with something so personal was very satisfying.

The only difficulty now is she thinks it is too beautiful to wear!

Thank you again.

I would like to say a big thank you to Barinder for inviting me for the third time to the open studio event at her home.

Barinder has very generously given me the opportunity to share my business with her clients, friends, and family which I much appreciate.

Each time I work with Barinder she is honest, open, consistent, and business-like.

Barinder, you are an inspiration and I look forward to working with you again soon.

Many thanks again.

I really appreciate the time, effort and care taken by Barinder to make a special gift for my mother.

She painted a beautiful canvas inspired by my description and photographs of my mum’s pride and joy – her allotment.

She was delighted and genuinely appreciated receiving such a unique gift.

Thank you so much.

I wanted to express my gratitude for the scarf I bought and presented to my wife on her birthday evening and thank you for the gift wrapping. The scarf itself is an absolutely beautiful piece; I am going to open and honest to state I was a little apprehensive prior to choosing/ordering, as my wife has a very good 'eye for quality' that makes it usually impossible for me to compare with and get right without her input upfront, but she was delighted to receive a very unique and quality item.

Dear Barinder,

BNI meetings are an invaluable way to learn about the services that its members offer and it was during a BNI meeting that you spoke about your beautiful pink poppy canvases. Upon hearing you talk about poppies, my Mother-in-law immediately sprang to mind, as she loves poppies.

After the meeting I asked you about the poppy canvases and you took the time to tell me about them in more detail and explain that they were a limited-edition pair of digitally printed, handmade high-quality canvases.

The following week you brought them along to the meeting for me to see and I knew straight away that they would make the perfect gift. To be able to tell my Mother-in-law that they were original and that the printing was done in the East Midlands from your photography, drawings and paintings made it even more special.

My In-laws have recently redecorated their home and it was on my last visit that my Mother-in-law took great pride and joy in showing me the poppy canvases that now adorn their wall. They really do make an impression in the room and my Mother-in-law is very pleased with them.

Thank you for creating such beautiful pieces of quality art and providing me with the perfect gift.

Kind regards

Having spent 22 Christmas’s with my other half, it has become increasingly difficult to decide on a gift to buy her, so I was looking for a bespoke gift, one that meant something to us and was more than just something picked off the shelf, and then I spoke to Barinder from Barinder Designs.

Barinder gave me some options and showed me some of her previous work which inspired me to decide on a gift of a Scarf which featured our dogs. I supplied pictures and some ideas and Barinder hit the drawing board to create a lovely design which I received as a proof, before she arranged the printing using local suppliers.

The finished product came beautifully gift wrapped and we ended up with a great item, which was fondly received on Christmas Day.

I am really happy with the finished item, as was the recipient, and I can highly recommend Barinder Designs for top notch design, a friendly service and a quality item.

Thank you very much!

I was looking for a gift for my wife for Valentine’s Day, Barinder mentioned in her weekly presentation that one of the handmade scarves that she designs and makes would be a perfect gift. I wasted no time in having a chat with her to come up with some ideas based on my wife’s favourite colours and flowers. Barinder got to work and produced something truly amazing and it was a perfect Valentine’s Day gift for Susan.

When Susan opened her gift, she had the “wow” factor look on her face and fell in love with it straight away. She knew how professional and special it felt, a lovely silk and radiant colours.

I would like to give Barinder a big “Thank You “as this really made Susan’s day, which put me in her good books!

Barinder is a true inspiration to her profession, she makes some amazing high-quality scarves from silk and I have no hesitation in highly recommending her to my family, friends, colleagues and business associates and would recommend you do the same immediately.

My name is Ali West and I run a busy personal training business in Nottingham.

After seeing one of Barinder’s design work I approached her to see if she could design and paint me a canvas with the flower of life symbol.  Barinder had never seen or heard of the flower of life, but once I showed her a picture she was confident that she could deliver a beautiful canvas, with the design I wanted.

Not only did Barinder design and paint an amazing canvas for me, she kept me updated on her progress throughout the process, regularly asking me if I was happy with the work and if she needed to make any adjustments.  She delivered my beautiful piece of work to me which now has a special place in my home.

I would highly recommend Barinder if you want a bespoke item that is special and unique.

Thanks so much for your help and keep up the good work.

Yours in health,

When my daughter, Emily, wanted to get her mum a special present for helping with homework during the school year, I thought what could be better than a personal, bespoke item that she designed with your guidance?

Both were absolutely delighted, and Katrine (mum) said:

“I was speechless and emotional to receive such amazing unique gifts.  To have Emily’s wonderful artwork on something I can wear and proudly show off is incredibly special and I will treasure these gifts for a lifetime”.

Thank you, Barinder – very satisfied customers.

To Barinder

I really enjoyed working with you to turn my artistic skills into a gorgeous bag and scarf.

Also thank you for designing and taking my opinions into account.

It was lovely to work with you as well!

The outcome was spectacular. I will enjoy working with you again

During a business consolation at the beginning of November the conversation moved onto Remembrance Day, Barinder mentioned about her Poppy Scarfs that she designed and made. I asked to look at one, it looked truly amazing and I had immediately wanted one, luckily for me it was the last one and would be a perfect anniversary gift for my wife Susan.

When Susan opened her gift, she just had the ‘wow’ factor look on her face and fell in love with it straight away. She knew how professional and special it felt, a lovely Indian silk and radiant colours. She wore it with pride not only on our special day but also on Remembrance Day.

I would like to give Barinder a big “Thank You” as this really made Susan’s day which put me in her good books!

Barinder is a true inspiration to her profession, she makes some amazing high-quality scarfs from Indian silk and I have no hesitation in highly recommending her to my family, friends, colleagues and business associates and would recommend you do the same immediately.

I am absolutely delighted with the service Barinder Designs has provided and how quickly Barinder turned around an idea to fruition.

I exhibit at several wedding fairs a year as well as have consultations with potential clients, suppliers and venues.  I wanted a way to promote my business, Oehlers Photography, visually but subtly so when I chatted with the then name of my business would be present.

I came up with the idea of having my logo on a scarf.  Barinder sat down with me and went through several ideas of how it could be done.  My design was very symmetrical but she adapted it so that the logo was dotted in a random pattern, which looked my more appealing and relaxed. After the design was agreed, Barinder took it to her printer and within a couple of weeks I had the scarf posted to me.

I wear the scarf to all of my business consultations and fairs.  It has been admired by everyone.  I have been promoting Barinder and so far, there has been quite a lot of interest so, hopefully, there will be more orders in the near future.

I asked Barinder Gahir, textile designer, to design a scarf for my wife Anne.

We discussed the pattern and style. Barinder asked about colours. I was able to say teal green, blue and yellow are her favourites. Within 4 days the scarf was delivered to my office in Antenna.

Anne is thrilled to pieces and so am I. Barinder is creative, understanding and easy to do business with.

I now have a small collection of silk scarves from Barinder Gahir and for me, each is as uniquely designed as it is beautiful. I feel the quality of the fabric and care in the finish as soon as I wear any of the scarves.

They are truly exquisite with whatever outfit, whether formally, for work, or more casually.

I look forward to the next collection from this very talented designer.

When you order an item from Barinder you know you are going to get something unique.

In the last few months, she has made scarves for my mum and sister, designed specifically for them. She used her own designs and adapted the colour scheme so they were perfect for each person.

The scarves were absolutely beautiful.

Similarly, I asked her for a scarf design that would match a jacket and dress that I wear and was equally thrilled. She has a great eye for colour and everything is produced in an excellent quality silk.

A very special gift, worth every penny.

I would recommend her without any hesitation whatsoever.

Dear Barinder

Thank you for designing, printing, and making my scarf, with my business logo. I’m delighted with the corporate feel, and it has already been admired by various customers.

Also thank you so much for all the work you have done, using your design skills and knowledge, to create some bespoke fabrics for my business, and I can’t wait to see them actually printed up and usable!

I know, because we’ve discussed it on several occasions, that you have done much research into my sector, and have worked hard to make each style unique, branded, and ‘designery’.

They also use this year’s top trending colours, but still have a slightly retro, but classic feel.

I am delighted with the result, and I know that my products will now have that unique selling point I’ve been looking for.

Also, we have ideas about where to move them on when I need to refresh my range in the future.

None of this would have been possible without your artistic flair and background experience, and I would recommend your design service to anyone.

Thanks again, from a very happy customer!

Yours sincerely

I am writing this testimonial to let you know how much I appreciated the outstanding customer service you provided me.

More recently due to my poor planning, I had forgotten to get my Aunty a gift for her birthday.  I asked Barinder if she had any sample scarves with her, so I could to the typical thing and just purchase one.

Barinder didn’t have any samples on her, however she used the opportunity to explain about the different scarves she did have available and more importantly asked me what style my Aunt wanted, asked what colours, what patterns and what she may be wearing it with, etc.

Once a decision was made, Barinder agreed to collect the scarf and deliver it to me, perfectly gift-wrapped and with a card as it was my Aunt’s birthday that day.

I have to say the packaging and card was much more than I expected and clearly outlined the quality and standard Barinder works to.

My Aunt could not thank me enough and described the scarf as being fantastic, she made reference to the unique design and the quality of the material – especially the touch and feel on her neck.

I would highly recommend Barinder’s scarves and unique designs, many, many thanks.

Earlier this year I wanted to give my mother-in-law a unique birthday present. I had been on holiday to France and had taken some abstract photographs of flowers in Monet’s Garden and wanted to do something with the tulip montage I had created in camera.

After listening to Barinder’s 60 second presentations about her business and how she transformed her own photographs on the computer to create beautiful patterns to be printed onto her textile products such as scarves, handbags and lampshades, I decided I would ask Barinder if she could do something with my tulip montage.

Barinder took on the project with enthusiasm. I decided that I would like a scarf.  We had several consultations over different ideas and how Barinder was going to approach the design. I wanted the background to be blue rather than yellow to match my mother-in-law’s eyes. Barinder produced a couple of designs for me to look at and was always attentive to my ideas. She came up with a design which took my breath away.  It was much, much better than I had expected. As well as capturing the tulips in my photograph she has also put her take of the design by using outlines and creating white silhouettes of the tulips that enhanced the feel of the pattern. Everything was done through liaising with each other. I could see how passionate Barinder is about her business as she wanted to get everything just right.

To top it all she placed it in a lovely presentation box with tissue paper, which added to the special gift.

The whole process was an enjoyable experience and an eye opener to how creative and unique and talented Barinder is. So, if you want to get a unique, beautiful gift for someone special I would highly recommend going to Barinder.

A few days later I gave the gift to my mother-in-law. She was absolutely over the moon and couldn’t stop saying how beautiful the scarf was. The blue matched the colour of her eyes and the top she chose to wear with it. Overall a very happy, contented birthday girl. Thank you Barinder.
