Tribaltique bellydance spiked cuffBellydance fashion from the Netherlands, mostly traditional gear with flashes of tribal fusion. The skirts feature both patchwork wrapped and modern asymmetrical minis with the by-now standard page of flared dancing pants, and there are mitts and hooded scarves for further accessorizion. Also a good place for all the adornments: belts of mirrors and draping chains, spiky cuffs, flowered tiaras and fascinators and metal tassels to secure into the hair, and lots of great big jingling bits.

Tawapa hanging organic wing plugsUtterly 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.
