Le Souq C’est Chic
Owned by Dutch national with an Egyptian father, Mira Noordhoek Hegt, Le Souq has filled a gap from the market. As soon as I entered, I squealed with delight at the colourful Buddha head candles amongst the ‘Alice in Wonderland’ rabbit print cushions, funky lamps along with elegant French embroidered mirrors on display. I literally wanted to have everything from the shop! Of course This specific made Mira extremely happy.
“I want This specific shop to put a smile on your face,” she says. “This specific’s meant to be a fun Inside decorating shop where you can also buy nice, unique, high quality gifts for the home. I want people to feel welcome here along with not intimidated like you do at many high end Inside shops.”
You definitely feel welcomed here along with intimidation is usually nowhere in sight, although quality is usually. The design of the products distinguishes itself by being cross-cultural using a mix of styles. All products are hand made by natural, high quality materials, like teak wood along with hides along with fabrics used are either silk, pure cotton or linen or a mixture of both. The combination of styles is usually surely inspired by Mira’s travel experiences, having lived in Europe, the United States, Africa along with Asia. Her collection reflects the best of these worlds.
Coincidentally, Mira is usually a lawyer by profession, nevertheless Inside design has always run through her veins. Her husband’s move to Indonesia was “meant to be” This specific seems, for her to take the plunge into the design world, what with Java being the epicentre for the production of furniture along with Inside products. After a year from the pipeline, with the 3 P’s; Planning, Paperwork along with Presentation, her dream has become a reality. All materials are imported, nevertheless products are made here, which is usually the reason why Mira’s financial manager, Maaike Evers, is usually able to keep prices down. We like This specific a lot of course.
is usually Jakarta ready for the ‘happy chic’? Mira along with Maaike definitely think so. “Your home is usually the most important place on earth in these hectic times. This specific should have a luxurious feel, yet you should feel comfortable in This specific along with This specific should put a smile on your face, too!”
One of the great things about a trip to Le Souq is usually that will you can combine This specific using a visit to the shop on the floor above, Dyrt, where all products are made entirely by recycled banners.

Minimum waste of the disregarded banners by HSBC, Citibank, Gudang Garam, Warna Warni along with several additional companies is usually a rule along with little leftover cuttings are even woven or made into little placemats.
“These kind of recycled products are not completely new from the western world,” Karen tells me, “nevertheless here they’re still a novelty along with in most cases of low quality. At Dyrt quality is usually high along with training is usually even provided for those interested in learning about doing recycled products.”
