Travel Guide - Rio de Janeiro

We've been working hard - the lead-up to Christmas has been madness to be honest. It's hard work making such a beautiful shopping experience! We love getting the kind of feedback we so often hear in the shops - that it's like a balm to walk into the stores, a visual treat and creatively inspiring place to visit. We sincerely hope to continue to make our customers smile in the next year and many more to come.
As the head of the company, Jasmine travels constantly to liase with makers and suppliers, to get inspiration from other cultures and artisans, as well as all the time at her desk working alongside Alissa scanning for new designers and ideas for the evolution of the business.

Jasmine hard at work at her desk.

It's fiesty, fun and often chaotic - and we think it's time for a holiday. We might end up simply spending a week on the deck with a good book, some quick swims and a few dinners with friends - but if we could go anywhere on earth, where would we pick? First kid in line is Jasmine - what destination is hot on her list?

Bohemian Escapes - Christmas

While it's hotting up here at the St Barts HQ in beautiful Burleigh, Queensland, we're thinking about alternatives to an Aussie Christmas. We love a BBQ'd turkey as much as anyone, and the beaches on our doorstep rank up there with the best on this planet - but that doesn't mean we can't get itchy feet for other vistas and experiences come December 25.
From a treehouse in Normandy cider country to a whirling dervish festival in Turkey, here's our shortlist of 5 bohemian escapes for a Christmas like no other:

Postcard From China

We've just come back from China and are still absorbing the impact of the sights, sounds and colours, not to mention the smog. Despite the one child policy, it's the sheer mass of humanity that hits you - there is so many cars on the road they alternate days that people are allowed to drive; even number plates on one day, odd the next.

Welcome

This is the visual diary of St Barts, luxe bohemian lifestyle stores.
In this blog we will open the doors to our eclectic trove of treasures, giving you the who, what, when, where and why. Every home tells a story and we believe the best are like travel journals, a literature that stirs the reader/guest into discovering new things about themselves and the world around them.
We love finding these pieces that help you create a dialogue between your soul and your home and this week we are packing. Off on another great adventure to find beautiful creations to bring back to our stores and online shop. Come along for the adventure...
