Our Story

Welcome, it's lovely to have you here!

This little shop is all about WOMEN HELPING WOMEN because when they do, MAGIC HAPPENS!

Our vibrant cheerful bags will make you smile every time you use them - guaranteed.

I met Pui in 2023 while I was living in Phuket, Thailand. We instantly became friends as we both love to laugh, chat and think kindness rocks.

Pui was my laundry lady and is the hardest working and most determined person I have ever met. But washing and ironing morning, noon and night still only just pays her rent, electricity and food bills. She is a single mum and her only child is 15.

This little shop is about to change that. We will work together as a team to build new skills for Pui while she earns some money from the profits.

Thank you for your support.

    Love my clutch!

    It's the perfect size, no wedging anything in but not so big that i lose lip balm and hair ties at the bottom! The neon pink makes me smile every day.

one woman ditching the daily grind, living solo and making memories

Realising in her early fifties that she needed to do life differently for a while, Mel seizes the opportunity of a few months with no responsibilities in her happy place, Thailand.

Among the sun-soaked streets of Phuket’s Kata Beach, she discovers the joys of solo
travel and embracing new experiences. From the aromatic flavours of Thai food
to the restorative power of the ocean to learning more of the language and the fun of immersing herself in the vibrant culture, Mel takes you with her every step of the way.

 The resilience and kindness of the Thai people she befriends have a profound impact on her.

As her days unfold, Mel candidly reflects on love, loss and the passage of time, and sees how essential it was for her to simplify her life.

 At its core, this book is a celebration of courage and curiosity, where each moment is infused with possibility and wonder, inspiring readers to step outside their comfort zones, live life to the full, accept the warmth of genuine human connections and create lifelong memories. It’s a reminder that travel has the power to awaken the senses and nourish the soul.
