about us - shibumi

Shibumi: a Japanese aesthetic concept that describes a sense of effortless elegance and simplicity, characterised by a focus on the essential and a rejection of excess.
Shibumi represents a holistic approach to living that emphasises harmony, balance, and refinement.

 

Welcome to Shibumi Living, a curated lifestyle store celebrating the art of slowing down, embracing simplicity and finding ways to elevate our daily rituals. Here you will find a collection of naturally inspired skincare and wellness formulas alongside a selection of well considered artisan items and objects.

 

We continue where we left off with our previous incarnation as G.A.S Life Store, where we focused on offering sustainable and cruelty free products made by small batch makers, to enhance everyday moments. We retain our core values and endeavour to continue to champion natural over man-made, small scale over mass-produced and a pared back approach to ingredients and packaging in the interests of the health of our bodies, our minds and our planet.

 

Shibumi Living will build on these values with rotating collections of considered lifestyle goods, alongside a complimentary curation of our own hand made ceramics, artwork and specially sourced pieces of interest.

 

Our new presence as Shibumi Living presents us with the opportunity to be more intuitive and authentic, offering a varied and interesting palette of goods in the spirit of the lifestyle store we have always aspired to be.

 

We hope you will join us on our journey.
