I'd recommend the shop and its products to anyone. The items are beautifully made, so pretty and come wrapped in lovely scarves. No plastic bags! Excellent in every way and great to be supporting working women in India and Bangladesh

Absolutely gorgeous. Quality makeup bag and looks fantastic (the photo doesn't do it justice). Will purchase from this store again for gifts. Thanks.
