What karmas around goes around
If you think that ethical shopping is better suited to your quinoa crunching, hemp loving, green as grass pals, then this new Yorkville boutique will surprise you.
With a focus on handcrafted, ethically produced goods from India, Bhutan and Nepal, Terra Pura is a delightful portal into South Asian culture. Manager Tsering Tanzi and her parents have sourced unique items such as embroidered bags made by women in the Kutch region in India and repurposed vases made by artisans of the Tara Projects that supports the education of underprivileged children in India.
Look out for the gorgeous quilts ($195) hand blocked in India, the kantha stitch scarves ($83.95) and the stunning semi-precious baubles (from $38) handmade in Delhi.
And enjoy the instant karmification.
