Bernard full in his house painting business and set off for two years on a backpacking trek to the remotest corners of the world. When he arrived in the oasis city of Kashgar (or Ks) in Xinjiang Provence, China after an extended period of very rough travel, he was so impressed with the history of the region that he decided on the spot to start a new life collecting and selling exotic goods from all over the world. Kashgar is a legendary city, famous for over 200 years as a melting pot both for revolutionary ideas and new concepts, but also as the key trading post on the Silk Road. It was this unique combination of philosophy and exotica that Bernard wanted to recreate at home. Starting in markets in 1991, he opened his beginning place in the Sydney suburb of Newton in 1994. Our 200piece collection includes contemporary and tribal silver and gold jewellery, a unique range of headhunting curios, antique Buddhist relics and a collection of one off necklaces and bracelets that I design and create myself using the beads and jewellery making techniques of ethnic minorities from around the globe. Kashgar is a philosophy as well as a store. We are committed to supporting conventional artisans and small village communities by selling real handcrafted goods which are personally collected by us. By supporting traditional methods of design and production we hope to encourage local cottage industries which have a low impact on the environment and help ethnic minorities maintain their self sufficiency into the 21st Century. Time honored means of craftsmanship and customary ways of life are disappearing as people all over the world offer up their identity in Cavour of jeans and shirts. We see our trade as a means of staving off the inevitable encroachment of the 21st century, assisting communities to decide for themselves which parts of the western world they wish to incorporate (medicine, education) and which they wish to reject (prostitution, begging, servitude to warlords). We foster our customers to think of the handicrafts and artifacts they purchase from us as an investment: a portion of history and a way of life that may soon be gone forever. We are occasionally commissioned to find special pieces for individual customers as well as for film sets, event management companies, hotels, businesses, consulates and embassies. The uniqueness of our stock means that we are also very enchanting to interior and fashion designers with a taste for the exotic. There is something for everyone at Kashgar collectors, the curious, those looking for a special offer or for something unique to adorn the home. Fresh stock arrives all the time, and most of our items are one off specialties other pieces we only stock in trivial quantities to continuously donate a wide and ever changing range of interesting products. We are also full with ideas for decorating home and work premises that will resist your established concepts of design and storage. Unusual, handmade, beautiful, sustainable.
