Accessories That Make A Difference


In a consumer world so driven by cheap, plastic goods, it can be difficult to find genuine craftsmanship worthy of true appreciation. Enter Terressentials, with a haven of truly beautiful accessories and home decorations that support the outstanding talents from far corners of the world. Everything from intricate jewelry using Austrian crystals and unique bead-weaving techniques to handmade wrapping paper made from grasses and leaves hailing from Thailand and India can be found in the Terressentials stores. The latest scarves were backstrap hand-woven in Guatemala. The scarves are 100% cotton, and come in a variety of styles and colors. The open weave, generally a multicolored arrangement of perfection, are light weight and well-suited for a summer evening stroll (and will match that adorable sundress!). The “Trama” style, achieves a more checkered appearance with deep earth tone colors embracing the shimmery cotton thread. This style, while also well-suited for a summer evening, can be doubled to create the ideal autumn scarf. Last, but not least, are the “San Juan” style scarves. This style is a sensory delight with its bright colors and soft, but durable, feel. And you can bet that your hard-earned money is going to the right place: these scarves are fair-trade, meaning each craftswoman receives the wages she deserves for her exquisite abilities.

No sweatshops, no uncertainty of origin. 100% real.
