Meet Rani Gundry: Founder of Vintage Fibres

Hi, I’m Rani!
I’m a wife, mum, nursing and midwifery student, and the founder of Vintage Fibres—a brand born from my love of creativity, motherhood, and the need to nurture a sense of purpose in a busy world.

In 2020, during the pandemic, I first launched Vintage Fibres as a small personal project. At the time, I was 19 and still figuring out what I wanted to do with my life. I had just started working as a youth worker in child protection, and while it was rewarding, I wasn’t sure where my creative passions fit in. It wasn’t until I became a mum this year and was on maternity leave that I truly found the time and space to reignite my passion and vision for this brand. Motherhood helped me reconnect with myself, and I realised that creating something beautiful with my hands gave me a sense of purpose and joy that I had been missing.

As a new mum, I found that creating something beautiful with my hands became a form of therapy—a way to ground myself while navigating the whirlwind of motherhood. Every knot I tied in my macramé, every stitch I made in my handmade accessories, was a step toward reconnecting with myself and building something that was uniquely mine. It was in those quiet moments of creativity that I realised I had found my new purpose: to create beautiful, high-quality, handmade products that could inspire others, just as creating them had inspired me.

What started as a creative outlet for personal expression quickly blossomed into something much bigger—a small business that fills me with pride and joy. Every piece I create is an extension of my journey, my values, and my love for crafting. From macramé plant hangings to baby swaddles, each product is carefully handmade with the intention of adding a little beauty and serenity to your life. My goal is simple: to share products that are not only aesthetically beautiful but also made with care and mindful intention.

As I balance my nursing studies, family life, and running Vintage Fibres, it has truly become my passion project. Every day, I am grateful to be able to share my creations with you, and I am honoured by the love and support I’ve received from this amazing community. Your support means the world to me—it is what makes this small business so special and keeps me motivated to keep creating.

Thank you for being part of my journey and for helping me turn a dream into a reality. Vintage Fibres is a place where creativity, motherhood, and a passion for quality handmade goods come together. I hope the products I create bring as much joy to you as they bring to me when I make them.
