I hadn’t seen her since we used to sit together in art class at high school over 15 years ago! It brought back many happy memories of giggle filled sessions getting creative and causing mischief with our fellow classmates! Art had always been my favourite lesson and as I remember, Caroline always shone as an exceptionally gifted artist. So I was thrilled to discover she’d continued her talents and followed a career path as a freelance illustrator and designer.

Deciding she needed more fashion inspired illustrations for her portfolio Caroline contacted me to discuss a possible collaboration with The Stellar Boutique. As you can imagine I was over the moon! Having seen her previous work and discovering she’s carved out a very successful profile in the world of design and illustration (graduating with a distinction in her MA from the prestigious Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London) I was really excited about the concept and we set to work choosing some of the key pieces from The Stellar Boutique’s latest vintage clothing collection.

Slick, vibrant, quirky and contemporary these images capture the spirit of The Stellar Boutique beautifully.

Thanks Caroline !

However, at The Stellar Boutique we have decided to try any means necessary to moderate that locational prolonged wait for you, by bringing you a new selection of exotic boho belts direct from the warm climates of Morocco! Each product is a genuine article, obtained profoundly within the souks of the magical city of Marrakech.

These boho belts are absorbed with Moroccan culture and ethnicity, ranging from Jim Morrison inspired 60s disc belts to the utilisation of excess fabric in the form of a tribal carpet belt with the implementation of leather, incorporated with traditional and authentic Moroccan carpet – a development of the renowned boho carpet bag!

Versatile and a “must-have” in the backpack, perfect that festival look by using the tan disc belt to cinche that lace vintage dress in at the waist. Alternatively, hook the boho carpet belt on a pair of cut off denims and combine with gladiator sandals, (a typical cardigan to accommodate the unpredictable weather) and a boho vintage tassle bag for the definitive bohemian Aztec festival look this season!

Because we purchase our belts directly from the artisans of Morocco, we are able to ensure a fair trade policy. Working together to bring you unique North African delights straight out of the souks and delivered directly to your door.

As always, these exquisite belts are exclusive to The Stellar Boutique, guaranteeing you stylish and original fashion that cannot be found anywhere else!
