Shanti Om carries some very beautiful and exotic items that are sent directly from India. We have suppliers that we work closely with to help choose items that may be rare or difficult to obtain in the U.S. It is truly a service universally to make these trades. Everybody wins!

A few suppliers that we are proud to trade with:

Kathmandu - Shanti Om offers an array of Kathmandu products ranging from Prayer Flags to bells to a fine and unique line of clothing for men and women. The products come directly from the villages and bizaars of India. Native handicrafts handsewn or tooled have been selected, making Kathmandu products new and unusual.

WindRose Trading Co. - Shanti also carries a wide range of products from WindRose Trading. They are importers of the finest quality incense as well as beautiful handcrafted products from India, Thailand and Nepal. Working with a network of Fair Trade groups, the majority of the products are handmade by small cottage industries that they work closely with to ensure that each item produced is made by skilled crafters. Their primary focus us to utilize suppliers who are supporting worthy projects, foundations, or even individual families. "We belong to the Earth; the Earth does not belong to us."

Gypsy Rose: Women's Co-Op Ecuador & Nepal
Shanti Om is pleased that Gypsy Rose is one of our biggest suppliers. Organized co-ops in Ecuador and in Nepal hand make most of Gypsy Rose's wool and crochet products. The co-op in Ecuador is a combination of multiple villages who have come together and successfully created a grass roots cottage industry. Wool is divided among the families who will then make products in their home. The income that they receive helps them live a sustainable lifestyle in a difficult economy. The co-op in Nepal is a women's shelter in a remote mountain village. The shelter houses women and children who, for different reasons, are without a husband. Offering a sanctuary in an area with limited opportunity the shelter provides a home, community, food and income through work for these women. The opportunity to provide you with these products not only allows unique groups of artisans to continue their art and spirit but also helps to support these co-ops and hope to keep expanding the product line that they produce.

Soothing Herbals - Soothing Herbals is a wonderful local herb grower and maker of pure organic skincare products for the face, body and feet, including organic mama & baby care, aromatherapy, and organic bath & spa products. They are committed to making the finest quality herbal products with organic integrity, using the art of Herbalism and Aromatherapy as their foundation. Soothing Herbals is also a recognized Botanical Sanctuary and education retreat.
