The Lakshmi Store Little treasures from travels across India

Throw back to last month when I invited some of my mummy friends to dress up in the new stock.

being a total goddess in the reversible sari skirt here. Unfazed by the boys climbing trees behind

I have a beaut selection of new reversible silk sari skirts available.

I chose every single sari that was reworked to create these skirts so I hope there’s a colour and pattern for all of you.

Come in, root through them, twirl in them… choose yours!

What is ‘Lakshmi’s’?

From the outside, it’s just a shop with a pretty window.
Step inside and to some, it’s still ‘just another shop’ and this is true, It’s a shop and a space in which I can do my dreadlock work and host my other offerings.

But it’s also a bridge. A bridge to my life (our life.. Ryder’s, mine) in India. It’s a way of keeping the love alive. A way of supporting our hopes and dreams. It’s a reminder and a symbol of gratitude for the country, people and culture that have helped me navigate the f**keries of life that I’ve had to face.

Lakshmi’s is an offering and an anchor. It’s not just a shop full of things. It’s an energy. A manifestation. A prayer and a purpose for my current self, my boys and to you…

Whether you are tip-toeing, strutting, sprinting, blundering, crashing, advancing or skulking your way in life, remember you’re on a journey. Your journey! Stay authentic. Be curious and nurture yourself.

In my experience, it’s the work we do on ourselves that makes the biggest difference not the place….

So pleased with these designs!
I sat in Ral’s warehouse rifling through piles of Kantha blankets to select the ones that spoke to me. Those that had stories and history woven into them.
Of course the ones i want are always buried low and hidden from view!
After choosing the Kantha, I sat surrounded by baskets of these salvaged patches choosing my favourites.
The process is like a private-viewing of cultural craft:
Hand embroidery, hand stitched from bygone years
Ral has created the softest suede straps that complement the fabric’s colour and texture beautifully. They make me so happy!

I have only 8 of these stunning, messengers style bags. Each one different.

Truly heritage, honestly made. Authentically designed bags of vintage-ness at their best.

Not a purchase, an investment.
Come into the store to see them.

Why not watch this terrible reel that cut half of my content, has me (unitnetionally) looking like a porcelain doll in the final clip and doesn’t include everything that I forgot to show you:
• the h**p
• raw cotton
• upcycled
• matchy-matchy sets
• the men’s shirts

Must do better or give up completely on reels.
Instead, make my life easier, come and browse the rails!

You can imagine my heaven when I opened this parcel from South America. The smell is insanely calming.

Tomorrow marks 2 weeks since my return to England. I’m here in body and mind now. Focusing on the tasks in hand. The shop is looking cute and smelling sweet. The stock that I selected is still arriving in dribs and drabs and hopefully the warm sun is a sign that I can get the silk pieces out on the rails real soon.

Open:
Thursday 10-4pm
Friday 10-5.30pm
Saturday 10-5.30pm

Excited to host Maria aka at Lakshmi’s for this.

Calling all you sober, sober-curious souls… let’s learn how to mix drinks that keep your spirits high without the hangover!!

We invite you on a discovery journey through a range of alcohol-free “Mood Enhancing” functional drinks, containing adaptogens and nootropics.
Functional drinks are helping shape the future of how we drink, socialise and approach our wellbeing.

We’ll explore a range of drinks featuring ingredients like adaptogens, nootropics, ashwagandha, lion’s mane, and more - each designed to support and enhance different “mood states”, from calm and relaxation to uplift, energy, and social connection.
We’ll taste our way through a selection of functional beers, wines, sodas and spirits (all alcohol-free), while sharing insights into the ingredients used, and how to choose which drinks enhance the ‘mood state’ that works best for you.
It’s a relaxed, social and informative session - designed to help you discover something new in a fun environment, all without the hangover.

Attendees will also have access to an exclusive 15% discount on purchases in the store on the evening of the event.

Places are limited so don’t sit on this.

Amelia is almost 80 years old. She’s been working as a clairvoyant for over 50 of those years.

She connects with spirit guides to offer clarity to those she reads for.

Yesterday Amelia did a first-time reading for me… I had a specific question for her which has been disrupting my peace. Amelia doesn’t know me personally and I didn’t drip-feed her any info yet she did her thing, let me pull some cards from her Medieval Scapini deck and put forward some insights that assured me she was the real deal. Including a spot-on description of an individual by their characteristics. She, they, knew exactly what my question was about!

The reading was aligned to my intuitions and offered me the some clarity in relation to my conundrum.

Amelia will be offering readings here at Lakshmi’s on Saturday 2nd and Monday 4th of May.

30-minute readings at an intro price of £25.

Readings will be offered from behind a privacy screen in the shop. If you require complete confidentiality please get in touch so we can accommodate you with a later appointment, when the shop doors are closed.

A £10 deposit is required to secure your booking. This can either be paid in the shop (cash only) or via bank transfer.

Timings of readings:
14:00
14:40
15:40
16:20

Come… follow the call. 🙏🏻

Kaju Burfi and my chai mix have gone down well and the shop is functioning with almost everything now having price labels! It’s been super to see so many returning customers and many new faces coming through the door.

I just about managed to wash the Goan sand off my feet before diving into the pots of emulsion but I’ve loved the process of bringing everything together in this beautiful little space AND it’s helped make the transition back into UK orbit easier on the heart.

Whilst painting and drilling, unwrapping and adorning, my busy little brain has been manifesting more and I have some exciting stuff happening within the walls of our little shop.

I will announce the first few events in the coming weeks!

Stay tuned.

A little ritual in the shop this morning before opening the doors…
In the same way the flame consumes the camphor until nothing is left, I asked the universe to consume my worries and ego, leaving only peace.

Obviously omitting the blasphemous language when handling hot brass, my plan was to rid the space of negative energy. It was peaceful-ish… the fire alarm didn’t go off until i had finished my ritual. 🙄

Today was a good day.

Sneak peek of how it’s looking behind the bow window.
Door will be open from 10am tomorrow.
I’ll be offering authentic Indian chai and Indian sweets for all who step inside.

Come and feel the Lakshmi love.

PS: bring your own cup if you want to taste my chai because I forgot to bloody buy some. So bring your own and let’s do our bit to save the planet. 🙏🏻
