Samsara

Samsara promotes a get-up, do and learn way of life while looking good doing it. With a wide range of clothing and accessories for men and women. We are in the process of designing and making festival wear with an unusual twist, a fusion of vintage, steampunk, fairy/pixie and pirate to create elegant yet edgy designs, and will include accessories such as hats with fully working, and moving parts. To set us apart from other traders we are working hard with this idea and as a vegan, will not use feathers or leather which forces us to utilize more unusual products in an imaginative way. This will add to our current range of handmade accessories including my hand painted 3 tier wild wings and florists flower crowns.

Our stock which we have not designed ourselves and have bought ready-made is carefully selected, supporting and paying local people, local prices, at their market stalls or small shops throughout Asia.

We make and promote the use of spinning activities such as poi, juggling and hula hooping, all of which we have handmade ourselves here in Cornwall. Our novelty Poi are unique, including designs such as space hoppers, angry birds, sugar skulls and many more, all our own invention. For those creative people who don’t enjoy spinning things around, we have an exquisite range of loose fabric, fat quarters, charms, bunting triangles, (pick and mix), vintage sari, silks, beads, trim, felts, and many other craft products, as well as bespoke craft kits.

We also do 3D party and festival make up, using colourful rhinestones, paper flowers, butterflies, stickers, glitter and for 2015 some rather unusual products to complement our new range, as this, along with everything we do is constantly developing. This is all done whilst comfortably seated in my classic 1965 VW splitscreen van which is a popular feature of our stall. I also do freehand Natural Henna.
