We’re #FeelingExtra global and excited about travel. One of our favorite curation trips was to the Greek island, Crete. We discovered independent designers while we were there and the most beautiful handmade accessories.

Below are some earrings handmade by a woman named Katerina. She employs a small group of women to handcraft designs using rare feathers, silks, and luxurious emerald and ruby stones. We'll share more about where to eat, shop, and stay on our travel blog soon. Get ready to book a summer vacation!
