We create with raw fabrics and the thousands of textures and colors nature constantly surprises us with. Our clothes are multi-functional, convertible, allowing for ease, trend, comfort, transforming from casual to seductive and nocturnal. Sexy yet innocent.

Souvenir Rosewood-Info Center

We are a small family business where you can find beautiful and unique wood bolws, which are made by the owner, the work area is in the same place so we extend the invitation to all our customers to visit the workshop and observe the process and for sure our garden. We also have jewelry that is made also by the owner and her daughter, some made from recycled paper, seeds, and more. We hope to see you soon!

Don’t miss this place if you can help it! This is the place where the guy will show you how he turns bowls from wood. He also will show off his fantastic garden which has sugar cane, a macadamia tree, and coffee plants amongst numerous others. He cut some cane for our family to try. He also has a bird feeder where we saw a Toucanette, and a Euphonia bird. He also let us try a lime right off the tree, and showed us his pineapple plant, plantain and banana trees. The gift shop features his woodwork, and the prices are the most reasonable there. You can find his work (probably his work) in gift shops, but this place has the best variety and prices. Best was when he let my husband try helping him turn a bowl on the lathe. The owner is a really kind man. We gave him money for generously sharing his time with us.

But if you meet Veronica she treats you like an old friend and gives you a big smile. she tells you, that you can do everything you want and that we are strong woman:) We can do it:) savety is a very important point for her, what I really liked. She gives clear instructions and explains why you have it to do like this. she always encouraged me and clapped the hands when I was doing it good:) there was so much confidence because of the way she teaches you. And she was right: I could do it, yeah:) The way she is teaching is very professional, passionated and she loves it to help you and make you happy:) I think this was my best experience in costa rica so far, just because she is the best surfteacher:) you learn much more than surfing:) Muchas gracias por todo, Veronica

Loved this shop. The owners and workers were friendly, bi-lingual and knowledgable. The shop is filled with beautiful hidden gems, some very affordable. Of all the shops in Monteverde, and Santa Elena, I loved that this was the least commercial. Instead, you will find handmade crafts from leather purses, fun hats, fine chocolates and coffee, beautiful one of a kind jewelry, and lovely paintings. I highly recommend this shop for purchasing unique, local gifts for those back home.
