I believe that everyone should be able to afford to have something wonderful to dance in. There is nothing quite like feeling that you are immaculately dressed for performance with just the the right accessories to make a great impression. My goal is to help everyone achieve their own costuming perfection. Therefore, from the very beginning, I price my items as low as I possibly can so every dancer can afford to look their best.

Please understand that there are many many expenses involved in bringing these treasures to you from distant lands. In addition to purchasing the pieces themselves and paying international freight charges, I must deal with customs, pay import duties/tariffs, sort them, tag them, store them, inventory them, cart them to workshops, cart them home from workshops, clean and repair them when necessary and fully insure them. I must either perform these services myself or pay to have them performed for me. I must also pay all the various other expenses involved in running a vending/internet business.

The items on this web site are collected from many different sources. Every piece is handmade and some items are older. With the exception of some of the newer jewelry, each piece is unique and because of that I can use no set pricing guidelines. I look at the overall quality of the workmanship, the beauty of the design and the present condition of the piece. Items that are damaged, extremely frayed, cheaply made or generally in bad repair will be sold at a lower price. If I make a remarkably good buy on a certain item, that savings will also be reflected in the price. By the same token, nicer pieces or pieces that are harder to find will carry a higher price tag. I do strive to price each piece as low as possible to give you the best value for your money. Bear in mind these items are of tribal origin and will have small flaws in them such as missing glass jewels, small frays, missing dangles, cracked mirrors, etc. Flaws in these items are taken into account when an item is initially priced and will not be discounted further.

Please compare my prices to other merchants. I'm sure you will find that they are quite reasonable.
