The Team
Henry and Jo moved to Jaipur in June 2025 in search of adventure and a vibrant place to build something of their own. They decided to add an extra layer of spice by doing it all while Jo was heavily pregnant, welcoming their daughter, Artemis, in July. To say life is “getting started” would be an understatement!
They are a husband-and-wife team living between Jaipur, the UK, and France. Henry is proudly British, having spent his life in Northumberland, just outside Newcastle. Jo is a 50/50 split between Germany, where she grew up, and France, her mother’s home. She’s a jeweller by trade, but she steers our artistic direction and keeps the wheels turning on just about everything else.
As for the real engines of Doon Threads, they’re our partners in India. Our fabric weavers, block printers, tailors, and seamstresses are at the heart of what we do, almost all of whom are “chai-drinking-lifesavers.” They are wonderful, helpful, and (so they claim) always up for another chai and a chin-wag. Honestly, you should come to India and meet them. We genuinely mean that, hit us up if you’re ever in town.
