About Us: A Journey of Passion, Heritage, and European Charm

Hi there and welcome!

We are two Australian women - one with Italian roots, the other with Greek heritage—and last year, we embarked on a life-changing journey through Europe. Our travels weren’t just about seeing new places; they were about reconnecting with our roots and discovering something beautiful along the way.

As we wandered through the picturesque streets of Italy, soaked up the sun in Greece, and explored the charming markets of Sicily and Rome (to name a few), we found ourselves falling head over heels for something we hadn’t expected: the incredible homewares, kitchenware, and gifts that were so full of character, warmth, and European charm. Every piece we came across seemed to tell its own story, and it wasn’t just décor—it was a reflection of a way of life, a celebration of craftsmanship, and a reminder of the magic that can be found in everyday moments.

But when we returned to Australia, we realized something—those beautiful, authentic European pieces were hard to find here. Australian homes were craving that same warmth, elegance, and soul, and we thought, Why not bring a piece of Europe to Australia?

So, we set out to make that vision a reality. We teamed up with like-minded Australian suppliers who shared our passion for quality and authenticity, and together, we started curating a collection of European-inspired treasures. We worked hard to find pieces that felt as special as the ones we’d discovered on our travels, and today, we’re so excited to share them with you.

Everything you’ll find on our website has been carefully selected, ethically sourced, and imported by Australian businesses—because we believe in supporting local, and we want to make sure you get the best of both worlds. From home décor and kitchenware to unique gifts, each piece has been chosen with love and a deep appreciation for the European charm that inspired us.

We’re so grateful you’ve taken the time to learn a little more about us. We hope our collection brings a touch of European warmth and beauty to your home, just as it did for us. Enjoy exploring, and thank you for being part of this journey with us!

With love,


Elena and India
