"I’ve dreamed of owning my own store since I was 15. Even back then it was inspired by the sea, and cultural handmade handicrafts imported from all over the world, treasures found at eclectic shops from St. Martin's "Melting Pot" background. I was heavily influenced by rich Caribbean colors, vibrant French colonial architecture, and the intricate handicrafts of Asia, especially those from (Bali) Indonesia, Thailand, and India.

As an artist myself, that passion for color, culture, and craft became my foundation. I've since added environmental and social impacts to those goals, too. Hence, our standards for conscious business."
