We have a big map of the world in our shop in Hay on Wye and one of our favourite jobs is filling in new suppliers from around the world as another interesting delivery of unusual items arrives. So far this year we have added some amazing new lines to the shop, including:
Cana Flecha jewellery and clutches from Colombia;
Pachacuti Panama hats from Ecuador;
Intricate ceramic skulls from Mexico;
Delightful floating candles from Thailand;
Exclusive soft toys from Argentina.
We are constantly on the look out for new suppliers who have interesting and inspiring stories. If you have a suggestion for a line you'd like to see us stocking, please get in touch - we'd love to hear from you!

We've just received our new selection of Caña Flecha
products from Colombia. The clutch and bracelets are inspired by the traditional skills of
artisans throughout Colombia. Contemporary
designs are
combined with age-old
techniques, natural materials and sustainable methods of production
to ensure each product is truly exceptional.
Caña Flecha is a
type of palm, native
to Colombia; the Caña Flecha is dyed with
fruits, vegetables, and plants. Once it is dried it
is hand-woven by artisans using traditional
Pre-Colombian techniques that combine indigenous and contemporary designs.
