Sustainability is at the heart of The Karma Collection's ethos. They strive to source eco-friendly materials and use responsible production processes whenever possible.
This commitment to environmental consciousness adds another layer of value to their unique collection. The items found at the store are in materials such as natural fabric, stone, brass items and marble.
The Karma Collection is more than just a store -- it embodies the spirit of Goa itself.
Ever since Babulal, the owner, fell in love with Goa in 2005, the store has become a vibrant part of this beautiful region, infusing the atmosphere with the essence of its surroundings.
The warm lighting, the earthy tones and the friendly smiles of the staff all come together to create a welcoming and inviting space.
It's an experience that goes beyond shopping; it's a chance to immerse yourself in the Goan spirit.
More than just a store, The Karma Collection is an invitation. An invitation to explore the artistry and traditions that Goa is famous for. An invitation to embrace slow living and appreciate the beauty of handcrafted goods. An invitation to be a part of something special.
Babulal shares, “Since I stay right behind the store, the doors are always open for people to come and check out the artefacts”.
The items in the store are sourced from various locations in and around India. The beautiful handwoven clothing is brought from Rajasthan and Kashmir, whereas the brass items and idols come from South India.
The store has some unique items. “We have only limited stock, one single piece of each item. You cannot have them made again; they are only designed once and not repeated," he mentions.
These unique pieces may be pricey, but the works are worth owning or checking out.
So, on your next visit to Siolim, be sure to take some time out to explore The Karma Collection. Let yourself be transported by the exquisite craftsmanship, the heart-warming connection to local artisans and the immersive experience.
You just might discover that perfect treasure to take back home, a piece that embodies the essence of art, and a reminder of your time spent in this magical place.
