New store in Woy Woy

A new store has opened on the Gnostic Corner, Woy Woy.

Owner Suzanne Flor described the Gnostic Hemporium as a "friendly little store" which will continue to "enhance the unique Gnostic experience".

"Our aim at The Gnostic Hemporium will be to offer environmentally friendly products, helping people to make informed choices on products that have been produced from the earth's natural fibres such as hemp, bamboo, and nettle," Ms Flor said.

"Bamboo is considered nature's renewable resource.

"Gnostic Hemporium continues to source products both from the home markets and overseas.

"By doing this we are offering work, not aid, to Third World artisans.

The store claimed a range of environmentally-friendly men's and women's clothing, bags, shoes, home-wares, handicrafts and hemp body products.

Ms Flor said hemp jewellery kits were also available.

"Hemp's low environmental impact makes it both the economical and the green choice," Ms Flor said.

"It is cooler in summer and warmer in winter, and naturally resistant to mould and mildew."

The new store is open seven days a week.
