Slow Shop Christmas Gifts: Vanouche & Mademoiselle Kalapa


Discover the perfect Christmas gifts from the Slow Shop on Gili Air — featuring the Vanouche islandwear collection and Mademoiselle Kalapa’s handmade coconut skincare from Bali.

Christmas, the Slow Way

On Gili Air, Christmas isn’t about rushing, wrapping, or endless lists. It’s about intentional, meaningful gifting—presents that carry a story, a feeling, and a connection to island life.

At the Slow Shop, we curate treasures designed to be cherished: crafted with care, beauty, and soul. This year, two collections stand out:

  • Vanouche islandwear — effortless style, soft fabrics, and timeless elegance
  • Mademoiselle Kalapa coconut skincare — handmade, natural, and deeply nourishing

Together, they form the perfect duo for thoughtful gifting: style and self-care, rooted in the spirit of slow living.


Vanouche — Effortless Island Elegance

A French-Balinese Love Story
Vanouche combines the elegance of French design with the raw beauty of Bali, creating pieces that feel like a permanent vacation.

Soft, Breathable, Comfortable
Vanouche clothing is made for women who love:

  • Neutral tones and natural fabrics
  • Simple, flowing lines
  • Easy-to-wear pieces for beach, dinner, or travel

Every piece is designed to move with you, feel soft against the skin, and evoke the warmth of island life.

Craftsmanship & Quality
Each garment is:

  • Hand-dyed and hand-stitched
  • Made in small batches with natural fibers
  • Ethically produced with local artisans

Perfect Gift For:

  • Island lovers and Bali dreamers
  • Women who appreciate timeless, feminine style
  • Eco-conscious travelers
  • Anyone who deserves softness and beauty in everyday life

Mademoiselle Kalapa — Coconut Alchemy from Bali

If Vanouche dresses the body, Mademoiselle Kalapa nurtures it. This artisanal skincare line harnesses the power of coconut, blending ancestral Balinese traditions with modern self-care.

Why Coconut Matters:

  • Hydrating, healing, and naturally antibacterial
  • Repairs sun-damaged skin and hair
  • Deeply nourishing for body, hair, and soul

Signature Products:

  • Coconut Body Oil — silky, scented, perfect for after sun or swim
  • Hair Masks & Oils — bring shine and vitality to sun-kissed hair
  • Gentle Scrubs & Balms — smooth, glowing, toxin-free, and handmade

Perfect Gift For:

  • Beach and wellness lovers
  • Travelers and spa enthusiasts
  • Mindful consumers seeking natural, high-quality products

The Slow Shop — A Boutique of Intention

Slow Shop is more than shopping. It’s a curated collection of island treasures reflecting:

  • Craftsmanship and ethical origin
  • Natural, beautiful materials
  • Practicality for tropical life
  • Joy, presence, and slow philosophy

Here, gifts aren’t just objects—they’re moments of care, connection, and thoughtfulness.


Choosing the Perfect Gift

  • Travel Lovers: Vanouche + coconut skincare for after-sun care
  • Wellness Souls: Mademoiselle Kalapa oils and scrubs
  • Minimalists: Soft, neutral Vanouche pieces
  • Romantics: A bundle of skincare and island accessories
  • For Yourself: Because you deserve a gift made with intention

Why These Gifts Stand Out

Most holiday gifts today are mass-produced, plastic-heavy, or quickly forgotten. Gifts from the Slow Shop are different. They carry meaning, soul, and craftsmanship—bringing beauty, sustainability, and the spirit of slow living to those you love.


Give the Gift of Slow

This Christmas, give gifts that slow the world down:

  • Handmade and ethical
  • Natural and nurturing
  • Beautiful and thoughtful
  • Inspired by Bali, infused with slow energy

Whether it’s Vanouche islandwear or Mademoiselle Kalapa skincare, you’re gifting softness, presence, and care—a present that lasts far beyond December.
