    OUR STORY

Welcome to our Little Oasis!

Ever since our first journeys through Morocco and Mexico, the Little Oasis Showroom team has been inspired by the creativity, dedication, and cultural richness of the artisans we’ve met along the way. What began around 2017 as a personal passion for travel, textiles, and traditional craftsmanship has grown into a vibrant space where unique handmade treasures from around the world come together.

We curate responsibly sourced home goods, garments, vintage pieces, and one-of-a-kind finds from Morocco, Mexico, Guatemala, Peru, Kenya  and beyond. Each piece in our collection reflects the artistry, heritage, and stories of the people who craft them—beautiful expressions of culture made with care, intention, and love.

We also cherish the art of restoration: lovingly repairing and reviving vintage garments so their stories can continue to be worn, appreciated, and shared. This commitment to preservation honors both sustainability and the timeless beauty of handcrafted work.

The Little Oasis is a celebration of imperfection, character, and authenticity. It’s a home for handmade, vintage, antique, and second-hand gems, as well as creations by independent artisans and makers whose work we are proud to support.

You’re invited to #findyourlittleoasis and be transported to faraway lands through the soulful craftsmanship and meaningful stories behind every piece.
