New in this week: hand-painted lacquered boxes from the folk-art regions of Russia, our current stock is from Palekh and near Zhostovo. Later we may also have boxes from Fedoskino, Mstiora and Kholui. Unique and often signed by the artist they've just gone up in our new Folk Art section.

We've been heads-down on the websites lately, so things are a little quieter here than usual — but there's plenty happening behind the scenes. Our sister shop for Baltic amber jewellery, The Amber Shop at https://ambershop.com.au, is now open too. Stock is still small while we photograph and list pieces, so keep an eye on it over the coming weeks.

And a reminder: our spring sale is on until 30 September - 15% off everything, already taken off every price on the site. Sign up to the newsletter and we'll send you a code for an extra 10% off your first order.

We've given our websites a fresh new look — and there's a lot to celebrate. 💛

Both Babushkas sites are back and better than ever, with the original design by Pierre Piccoleau:

🔗 https://babushkas.co.nz
🔗 https://babushkas.com.au

And we're so excited to launch something brand new — our dedicated amber store:

🔗 https://ambershop.com.au

Designed by Rikki, with a helping hand from our daughter Sasha. It's only just getting started (around 10% of our amber is up so far), with the full collection arriving by the end of October — so keep checking back.

To celebrate, everything across all three websites is 15% off until the end of September.

And there's more: sign up for our newsletter on either Babushkas site and you'll get an extra 10% off your first order. (Coming to the amber shop later today, too.)

Come have a browse — we'd love to hear what you think! 💛

Meet this cheeky Russian fella and his friends — and they're all 32% off! 🎉

This 60cm Russian folk doll is hard to miss. Hand-painted face, curly red hair, a grin that speaks for itself — dressed in a bright red linen tunic with intricate woven ribbon trim, geometric embroidery, brown trousers and hand-knitted blue yarn slippers. His tall linen cap is the finishing touch on a seriously characterful piece.

It's a bargain and even more so that the Russian ruble is appreciating against the Australian dollar.

Handmade in Russia. Full of personality. Built to be passed down.

👉 32% off
