With a focus on nature, impeccable service and thoughtful design, Caryn's values are very much aligned with our own, and so who better to curate their edit of top picks from The Colombia Collective? Take a look at Caryn's favourites from The Collection below.

SANDRA WOVEN PLACEMATS

"We love the natural tones and simplicity of the Sandra woven placemats and have offered them in the shop at Thyme since the early days of The Colombia Collective. We use them regularly in our family home as they compliment our own hand painted Bertioli table linen prints, really bringing the table to life."

WAYUU SMALL POM POM BAG

Wayuu Small Woven Clutch Pom Pom Bag Olive Green

"These little Wayuu bags are a pure delight and we especially love this one in olive green as that’s our staple colour at Thyme. It’s the perfect size and compliments any outfit."

NARINO WOVEN TOTE BAG

Narino Hand Woven Striped Beach Tote Bag Olive Green

"These summer bags are gorgeous and practical - so chic for holidays and by the pool. Neutral and green are our go to colours as they remind us of nature and we love that they are beautifully hand crafted by talented artisans."

CARMEN WOVEN BOWL

"The perfect piece to style kitchen shelves or a coffee table, or to pile high with fruit!"

WAYUU CLASSIC POM POM TASSEL 

Wayuu Pom Pom Tassel Terracotta

"Our garden door keys for the family home never go missing with this giant tassel as a keyring - plus it looks great hanging on the door!"
