Wildwood
At Wild Wood our mission is to combine the elements of nature with excellent design and a touch of craftsmanship. Each of our sunglasses include high quality polarised lenses offering top class protection, fused with a natural wood frame, making for a truly unique product.
Our products are all eco-friendly with the full range being handmade from reclaimed wood. We’re constantly trying to drive environmental awareness and considering this we have teamed up with The Nature Conservancy by planting one tree through their ‘Plant a Billion’ campaign for every product we sell. 1 sale = 1 planted tree 🙂
Gemelli
The vision for Gemelli was born from a place of love that only a mother can know and was inspired by the need to capture the special bond between a mother and child. Embracing your newborn for the first time is moment never forgotten and a moment in which mother and child should look and feel comfortable, stylish and most importantly….connected. The word ‘Gemelli’ is Italian for ‘twinning’ and responds to a mothers intense desire to be connected to their child.

The Botanist
After a multitude of iterations, The Botanist was born. A plant-based, chemical-free and kind collection of home cleansing products, made the artisanal way, with a carefully selected range of fresh and therapeutic essential oils. All packed together lovingly, right here in the UAE, in eco-friendly elegant glass bottles that you finally don’t have to hide away.
The Botanist launched in 2019 and we’ve since moved to a purpose built production facility in Dubai to enable us to bring the products we love to more people in the UAE. We’re so excited to be sharing our range with you and hope you love it as much as we do.

Cara Jordan
Hi There! From a young age, I was drawn to gemstones and jewelry, believing not just in their beauty, but in the symbolism and personal meaning behind each piece.
I believed that the world not only provided material to be worn, but material to help us become more grounded and appreciated.I believed that everything that the Earth could offer was far bigger and better than our understanding.

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.
