I travel A LOT; like a road warrior for the past 20+ years and typically I despise tours. I don't like the schedules, some of the people on the trip, structured meals, lengthy talking by the guide, or your seatmate. So I was hesitant to join this one. But I did my research and compared many of the similar groups/trips and I can say wholeheartedly that I chose the right one. The trip was not overscheduled whatsoever and I LOVED that the mornings started with optional yoga/breakfast so that I could actually roll out of bed and make a 10-1030a departure without rushing. The places that we stayed were really fantastic and for a self-professed hotel/airbnb snob that's saying something. Plus I'm a picky eater even though I travel extensively and I was always pleasantly surprised with the options either at the restaurants or with our homemade meals. But truly what makes this tour so much better is that the people who gravitate to this one are really special. The women here are independent, interesting, generous, thoughtful, fun and well - everything you could ask for when you're thinking of inspiring. Jess and Jo are the best kinds of hosts - just like you or me - go with the flow, adaptable, quick thinking, and sincere. I WANT to travel with these women and even I can't believe I'm saying that (because I'm usually a bit of a lone wolf on my travels.) But with all honesty, I hope that I will travel with all of these females again and I'm happy that I can now call them part of my tribe. You'd be lucky to join whether you travel on your own or not; this is a welcoming, inquisitive, and inclusive squad.
I love my pieces so much! They're gorgeous. Thank you for shipping so quickly. <3
Obsessed with this dress! The fit is amazing – flattering and feminine, and the length is perfect, not too short. Suitable for special occasions or wearing every day. My only wish is that it came in more colors because I would happily purchase them all! 😍
My 6th knit from Casa de Stela in a year. Beautiful workmanship and colours. Arrived in Scotland from the US within a week. Xxx
Lovely small company & amazing service by Jess. I cannot wait to order more from her shop!
Unusual, flattering and beautifully made. Arrived in Scotland from the US in only a few days. When you buy from this company you are supporting a small US business run by women and a Peruvian women’s knitting collective. Another jumper is already on the way to me.
Bought this for my husband and he loves it. Bonus points: Jess provided the absolute best customer service when there was some confusion about sizing and earned a lifelong customer along the way
I got the beanies in green and red and I love both. I am wearing them constantly. They are really cute. They are also very very soft. The colors are gorgeous. Very happy with these purchases!
