Inside Our Indonesian Sourcing Adventure

Our recent sourcing trip to Indonesia was an inspiring journey that gave us the opportunity to reconnect with our valued suppliers, discover exciting new products, and experience firsthand the incredible craftsmanship behind many of our collections. We always enjoy sourcing pieces directly from the hands that create them, it's a very special part of the trip for us. After spending some time with our wonderful suppliers, we've returned inspired by the craftsmanship, tradition, and care behind every item.

Birthday Treat

This time I celebrated my 60th birthday in Bali and treated myself to an exfoliation massage. It was at Bodyworks in Seminyak. As you can see from the photos it looks like it has fallen out of Morocco! The tiles, the colours, the arches, the columns are all absolutely stunning.

The treatment begins with a 65 minute Balinese massage, then the entire body is painted in a brown, granular paste (the traditional Javanese 'lulur') containing turmeric, sandalwood, cinnamon, and rice powder. The paste is then gently rubbed to exfoliate the skin. After a quick rinse, the body is covered in fresh yoghurt. The enzymes stimulate cell activity and restore the pH balance of the skin, which feels soft as silk after the yoghurt is washed away. The final step involves luxuriating in a warm, fragrant, flower-filled bath. Highly recommend!
