A large, diverse catalog of body finery: amber flower plugs, silver lotus eyelets, all kinds of silver hoops and fringy shoulder-dusters, septum mustaches, striped glass spirals, hanging shapes sprouting wings and fins and intricate curlicues, ear weights taking on the forms of little animals, plus a selection of antique and repro tribal jewelry.

Bellydancing skirts made with massive amounts of yardage for maximum twirl, garnished with mirrors and brocade trim for extra flair, or left plain to let the movement do all the talking. Velvet cholis, bras that drip with coins and kuchi, tassel and fringe belts for layering, silk veils to dance with, harem bloomers, and lots of cheerfully noisy jewelry.

Utterly insane ear jewelry carved from organic materials, and they mean it when they say they have something for everyone. The bone and horn is ethically collected, and their use of coconut shells, gemstones, and exotic woods open up the selection to vegans – and plentiful 1mm gauges mean you don’t have to stretch your lobes to flaunt their incredible selection of floral-tribal-winged-helixed-vertebral designs.

Bellydance wardrobing: long full skirts, harem pants, velvet cholis and corsetty little bodice tops made from recycled sari fabric, veils both glittery and tie-dye, hip scarves loaded with coins and fringe, hair tassels, kuchi jewelry, belts and bras that jingle, swords and cymbals, and a little bit of straight-up leotardy dancewear.

Dancing separates and full costumes spangled with shine: harem pants and veils, skirts and hip scarves, cholis and fringy bras. The sparkly coins of the look are present in anklets, belts, handflowers and necklaces, but industrial and art deco influences surface in the Tribal section through some rather wicked chokers.
