The flagship store for the

1997. It’s a one-stop shop
for beautifully scented
soap, body scrubs and
other natural beauty
products, all freshly made
locally. For an unusual
souvenir or present, you
can also design your own

a fixture of Shenkin

tasty food too.

A blast from Shenkin’s
hippie past,

Kabbalah-themed
silver pendants and
other interesting
mystical pieces, some
set with the semi-
precious

place its name. It also
sells original designs
by local artists.
