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.
Our Family
The Turchins are a family of artists each with their own distinct mediums. Together, they have curated a life centered on gratitude, local and global awareness, and an unwavering commitment to the ones they love most.
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!
