I love love love the feeling of properly exfoliated skin and just find the usual high street exfoliation mitts to be a bit rubbish really. The good thing about having my own store is that I can source the things I love, so say hello shortly to a fantastic range of Syrian Bath Mitts.

Been sorting through the boxes that just arrived from the glass factory in Damascus. Received loads of interesting samples to tempt me...

Amazed by tagua - never realised what it was before - the seed of an endangered palm in South America. The texture is lovely and smooth. Makes fantastic jewellery!

All our Japanese treasures or starting to arrive - found some fantastic stuff. Japanese products just seem to be amazing quality.

Managed to find the jewellery workshop I had been hunting for in Istanbul- he makes stunning ottoman influenced jewellery. V excited to add these to our collection!
