Story of Source

Story’s story (no pun intended) has been long in the making, but it was a trip to Guatemala in October 2018 where Story of Source was born. Guatemala gave our intent color, our dreams shape and further fueled our desire to preserve and nourish indigenous craft in a fair and sustainable manner.

It is our hope that with every collection, Story will help sustain indigenous craftsmanship and encourage artisanry, a dying art in many parts of the world.

Eco Rascals

Sharing a deep passion to reduce the use of plastic, we knew we needed to develop a product that was plastic free, sustainable and biodegradable. That’s why we chose bamboo. Bamboo grass matures in five years, significantly faster than any wood product. It is grown and harvested without the use of pesticides. Organic bamboo is eco-friendly biodegradable, heat, stain, odour and water resistant and most importantly it is non-toxic.

We are are so excited to bring you our line of natural, plastic-free, non-toxic, stylish and sustainable tableware products for your family. Please dive in and take a look of what we have to offer.

So this is where we tell you what we really stand for. In short, we believe in the individual and so we design for the individual. We don’t create our fashion so that you can be someone else, instead we are focused on helping you bring out who you really are, that subtle edginess that is in you, waiting to come out. We help you make your own mark in the world as you. That’s what we stand for.

Fringe Society

Fringe Society is about creating a home, wherever you may be. As expats we often find ourselves living on ‘the fringe’ of societies around the world. Immersed in different cultures and beliefs, day-to-day life can be unpredictable and challenging, which is why our home becomes our haven.
Drawing on my love of natural materials, textures and tones, I find inspiration in the contrasts of my surroundings: raw & luxe | natural & manmade | bold & subtle.

Dazzling Designs

Offers complete design, decor, and turn key solution for your homes, commercial & residential units. Join the quest of turning houses into homes, empty spaces into living ones & let’s bring life to where you live.

Lokal of the month

Mleiha

Mleiha, a UNESCO-nominated World Heritage Site in the Central Region of the Sharjah map, is home to a number of significant sites, including Bronze Age tombs and pre-Islamic forts. Fascinating artifacts and fossils were discovered here, including pottery, iron tools and camel skeletons. The Mleiha Archaeological Centre, which opened in 2016, houses these discoveries and even more artifacts that uncover ancient UAE history.

The centre also offers a range of tours and activities. You can explore the archaeological sites or venture into the sand dunes with a desert safari. Alternatively, you can also try other desert adventures like riding a quad bike or dune buggy over the sand. If you prefer to go on foot, consider trekking to Camel Rock for an expansive view of the desert. The surrounding area is a beautiful location for a desert camp on soft dunes and under glittering night stars.
