SHOPPING, BEST OF

GLOBAL CHIC

When it comes to bohemian glamour, it’s often the real deal we’re searching for. Fabulous buys from bazaars and souks around the world make for exotic, elegant additions to almost any outfit, adding a touch of the unexpected to our wardrobes. Now, several online boutiques have emerged that specialise in delivering clothing and accessories sourced from every corner of the world – think kaftans from Morocco, jewellery from India and baskets from Mexico. Here are three great new sources of that coveted global chic.

1. CALLIXTO

Founded in Hong Kong by Sasha Dennig, Callixto (“most beautiful” in Greek) was launched with the idea of bringing together the most special trinkets found on Sasha’s many travels. With a focus on jewellery, it’s a great stop for gifts, with some fabulous homewares and accessories also included in the mix.
