Welcome to Blue Souk

Ashlyn Baumgartel

At Blue Souk, we believe that true luxury is found in authenticity, heritage, and craftsmanship. Our journey begins in Tunisia—a land whose craftsmanship is influenced by thousands of years of history and a vibrant culture. From the coastal medinas to the desert villages, Tunisia holds a timeless tradition of artistry that continues to inspire the world.

The artisans in this region come from the ancient people-groups of North Africa, called the Amazigh or Berber. Their work carries the soul of a people deeply connected to their land and their stories. Their style of craftsmanship and symbolic motifs have been passed down from generation to generation, through families and tribes. These symbols are not merely decorative—they are vessels of memory, identity, and meaning, reflecting centuries of continuity and resilience.

At Blue Souk, we curate and export this heritage, connecting discerning collectors and design enthusiasts in Europe and the United States with artisans who still create by hand, using techniques unchanged for centuries. Each piece tells a story—woven into textiles, carved into ceramics, or shaped into intricate metalwork.

We are more than a marketplace. We are a bridge between past and present, between makers and admirers, between Tunisia and the world. We hope that when you purchase one of our pieces, you leave not only with a beautiful work of art that can be used in your home, but with a connection to the stories and the histories of the hands that created it.

This is the essence of Blue Souk: timeless artistry, cultural heritage, and the luxury of owning something truly meaningful & unique. 

Welcome to Blue Souk, the market between the sand and the sea.
