After, a cute little corner shop just opposite the Victoria Market dry goods section. They don't have a website, email or any contacts but if you're in the area, do check it out. The little shop stocks handmade goodness, mostly made by Africans living in third world countries, who make such crafts for a living.

At first glance, you'll probably pass the shop without even looking. I mean, I've passed the shop a few times, because groceries were simply just calling out my name and I had my eyes all glued to the dry goods section. And this shop, sitting quietly in between some odd vintage shop ( which I've seen only open for business once ) and the ever so busy Macdonalds, one will simply walk past while rumaging through their packed grocery bag, trying to look for their coin pouch, etc. I know because it happened to me before. Haha. Anyway, the next time you're at Victoria Market, do take some time just to pop in the shop and peep around all those handmade wonders!

PS: I spoke to the brother boss of the shop and guess what? I'll also be placing some zines in the shop soon! Nice!

But yup, do check out this heartwarming little shop!
