Beaded Glittery Mini Treasure Chest - Namaste
Traditional Lac work is an ancient craft of India. Lac is a coloured resin that is obtained from wild trees. Articles made of Lac are considered auspicious and are used in cultural and religious cermonies. Layers of the resin are applied as a lacquer and the items are then finished off in true glittery Bollywood style, as these mini treasure chest trinket boxes display!
Please note this is for a single box only, the design sent will be chosen at random. If you have a preference then please let us know and we will try to accommodate your request but cannot guarantee which colour you will receive.
Dimensions: 5.5 x 4.5 x 4cm

The Namaste Journey
In 1995, in search of some adventure, founder Sam Brummitt flew to Kathmandu, Nepal with a round-the-world ticket. After an inspirational trek to Mount Everest base camp, followed by 6 months circumnavigating the Indian Subcontinent on re-conditioned ex Indian Army Enfield Bullets and sleeping under the stars at the side of the road, the idea for the business slowly developed. Fuelled by a conversation one day in Rajasthan with the owner of a small textile business and now lifelong friend and a key supplier, Ganpat suggested Sam came back home and started a business.
Starting a business meant earning a living while putting something back into such a beautiful and wonderful part of the world and that’s exactly what happened. Namaste, translated as ‘I greet the spirit within you’ was founded in 1997.
