So this year I was fortunate enough to be a part of the Vast buying team on their annual trip to China seeking out the next range of 'wow' pieces to enter our stores.
Being immersed in all things beautiful is what I experienced each
day of my trip, From the beautiful blown glass vases to the edgy
metal wall art and the Chinese culture in general. 'A feast for the
senses' is how I would best describe my China experience.

Furniture with a soul of its own...that's what I want! And luckily I know just where to get this...not one piece is alike or one colour the same, and that's what makes them so desirable....

Hospitality & kindness is one aspect of the Indian culture is not conveyed enough to those that visit, it is more important to have a mutual respect and honesty than start business without this, this is true business ethics.

One of the ways Vasties save on their travel expenses is to share rooms.. its a bit of an initiation thing ...but it can get very humbling,...I mean who thought it would be a good idea to have this view of the shower in a twin room.
