Our
Aesthetic
Our showroom floor,
which was originally the historic Banner Elk Glove Factory,
offers customers a wide range of fine gifts along with a mix of furniture and home décor pieces.
Our style is timeless, authentic, inspired, unexpected and fresh. The shop also offers one of a kind objects from local artisans along with a selection of organic soaps & hand poured candles.

The Great Train Robbery represents this collection of a life well lived. Be sure to say hello to John, Susan, Ashley, or Jordan when you're in for a visit!
