Many of our treasures are made using stunning textiles and embellishments, cowhide and leather, we have 100% handmade Kantha throws and one-of-a-kind handmade jewellery pieces.

When our Chakras are healthy without blocked/stagnant energies our bodies will follow. Crystals are believed to have natural energies within them that enable us to heal ourselves. By programming our crystal with our intention it is believed we are able to use those vibrations to help healing occur.
