Bringing little explorers?
Our creations are handmade and delicate, so we ask that all children be closely supervised. A gentle reminder to help them look with their eyes and treat our tinkered treasures with care.

Find Us
The Lost Gypsy lives in Papatowai, nestled along the wild Catlins coast between Invercargill and Dunedin. Follow the twists of the Southern Scenic Route and keep your eyes peeled – when you spot a green housebus and a yellow van, you’ve found the right kind of strange. Curiosity doesn’t just visit here – it stays a while.
