Worldly Goods
What we really treasure from our travels abroad are the unique finds we score at souks, bazaars and little-known street markets.
Here in Toronto, globetrotters Aristedes Pasparakis and Alexia von Beck are packing their finds into Holy Cow, their colourful Leslieville store.
We went cuckoo for the bird-shaped garden ornaments ($95-$165) and could not resist the Moroccan baboushkas ($50) in every hue. Snap up some soft Turkish towels (they make the perfect pareo, $59), a handmade paper star from India ($10–$16) and a copy of Pasparakis’ new cookbook, New Greek Cuisine, and you’ll feel like you shopped the globe.
Bon voyage!
