Exotic Decor at Our Dallas store

We are fortunate enough to go on several trips a year to such exotic locations as India, China, and South America. During our journeys we stumble across unique items that might be vintage, antiques, or even the last one left. So, every trip, we're sure to bring our empty suitcases to fill with these rare finds so we can carry them back home.

Handmade Books in Jaipur, India

Making Books by Hand

This company was started when three young friends rented a booth at a trade fair 14 years ago to sell books and bags made of handmade paper. This Indian artisan has grown great lengths since then and now specializes in handmade paper, bags, books, and leather products. They are located in Jaipur, India and also have a small group of designers and workers from a small village outside of Jaipur.

 

We’re attracted to unusual items with unique stories attached to them. One such piece of furniture is our Butterfly Lover’s Chest that literally tells a story.

The Butterfly Lover’s is the tale of two schoolmates Zhu Yingtai and Liang Shanbo who fall in love and vow to marry. But Zhu’s parents have arranged her marriage, and Liang is so heartbroken he dies. During Zhu’s wedding processional, she passes Liang’s grave and begs for it to open. It does, and Zhu throws herself in. Their spirits turn into butterflies that fly off together, never to be separated again.
