Visited this shop in person just a little over a year ago before the pandemic. It was amazing! Super charming and unique. I LOVE all the ways they support traditional handicrafts and artisans, as well as charities. The two women in the shop were incredibly kind and helpful. Since then I have been able to stay connected through their online presence and ordered some fantastic jewelry and gift items from them. So pleased with the whole experience. Thank you, Sankara Imports!

Absolutely amazing service! Went in a few weeks ago to grab a present for my mum and a lovely lady named Helen helped me find the perfect gift. Her knowledge of the different gemstones and there spiritual properties is absolutely phenomenal! I would definitely go to the store again just to see Helen, she had lovely attitude and was incredibly helpful.

I dealt with this shop primarily online, but was amazed at their selection and how thoughtfully the staff (shop owner?) helped me find exactly what I needed. I wasn't able to go to the physical shop, but I am glad they are taking such care with the health of their customers. My experience was great and I highly recommend them, online or off.

The customer service displayed by Helen in this shop is 2nd to none. She is always bubbly helpful and doesn't pressure you to buy anything.The shop experience is a enhanced by the pleasant conversation. She is full of knowledge about the products in the shop and can explain all the hard work that goes into these products. During the pandemic the shop has offered online services and personal shopping for people who are exempt from wearing a mask. Keeping everyone safe in a small space. Helen keep up the hard work, the positive attitude and the warmth you give to everyone!

Staff and owner are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Store insists on masks and hand sanitizer so I feel safe when in the shop. Their products are lovely! And such a great ethos to purchase direct from quality artisans rather than go through regular mass-produced purchasing channels!
