Handwoven Baskets & Beach Bags

A forever favourite. Woven by artisans using natural fibres like palm and water hyacinth, these lightweight bags are as functional as they are beautiful. Perfect for beach days, markets, or just styling in the home, they're a gift that always feels useful and chic.

Add a linen sarong or pareo inside for a complete tropical-ready bundle.

Locally Made Ceramics

Each handmade ceramic piece in our boutique is slightly unique just like the island itself. From earthy mugs perfect for a morning coconut latte, to softly glazed bowls and incense holders, these pieces are timeless keepsakes that add texture and calm to any home.

We especially love gifting them as part of a breakfast or coffee ritual set paired with a bag of Thai-grown beans or herbal tea.

Linen Throws & Cushions

Nothing says island comfort quite like soft, breathable linen. Our curated collection of cushions and throws features neutral tones and natural textures that suit almost any home. These make wonderful gifts for anyone who appreciates slow living and tactile luxury.

Bonus: they fold down easily into a suitcase for travellers!

Scented Candles with a Sense of Place

Scent has a beautiful way of taking you somewhere. Our hand-poured candles are infused with essential oils that evoke the islandthink lemongrass, frangipani, coconut, and sandalwood. They’re the perfect way to bring the feeling of Koh Samui into any space, no matter how far away.

Each comes in a minimalist glass or clay vessel that looks as good as it smells.

Artisanal Homewares

From reclaimed teak chopping boards to handwoven placemats, our home accessories are both functional and beautiful. 

These are especially loved as housewarming gifts or hostess presents.

Island Jewellery

Delicate, handmade jewellery crafted from shells, pearls, and natural stones is a lovely way to wear a piece of the island. Each piece in our boutique is inspired by the colours and textures of the sea, designed to feel easy and effortless never overdone.

Lightweight and perfect for everyday wear, these pieces make for meaningful keepsakes.
