After years of visiting Trinidad and other parts of the Caribbean, Chelsea found herself choosing more and more to shop from small, local producers, creating unique, handcrafted pieces. This compulsion soon evolved into a desire to share these talented makers and creators with a broader market. Salt & Papaya seeks to inject some colour into the North American retail market by presenting a curated, colourful selection of responsible Caribbean clothing, jewelry, and art. https://saltandpapaya.com/pop-ups daily 0.75 2020-01-06 https://saltandpapaya.com/montreal-popup daily 0.75 2018-12-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1540855352419-KWYD9NTI0AVUFJSAI1OA/NeverApart.jpg Montreal Pop Up - Chez… Never Apart, located in Montreal’s vibrant Mile-Ex neighbourhood, is a non-profit organization determined to bring about social change and spiritual awareness through cultural programming with global reach and impact. 7049 Rue Saint-Urbain, Montréal, QC, H2S 3H4. https://saltandpapaya.com/the-makers daily 0.75 2018-11-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1540686740335-Y3CEE21EWJQ0RL6XQ00V/Meiling.JPG The Makers - Meiling https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1540686529106-BU85SGS9U8CSFN1UAG4B/Anya.jpg The Makers - Anya Ayoung Chee https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1540687071121-IHKSMR5AT3E3IQYEFFCT/Kathryn.jpg The Makers - Immortelle Beauty https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1540688814218-3NAVOR6JLE4PC5JCGEED/Bene+Caribe+blue+batik.JPG The Makers - Bene Caribe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1540687689194-6YGWKVWZPL6FAX9SJCWI/Samarah.JPG The Makers - Samarah https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1541284716043-UR4I0WJVQNWVQB456LMW/Peter+Moses+1.JPG The Makers - Peter Moses https://saltandpapaya.com/contact daily 0.75 2018-11-09 https://saltandpapaya.com/anya-ayoungchee daily 0.75 2018-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1541278755677-QQVG54TVWYC5TVT31HF7/Anya.jpg Anya Ayoung-Chee https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1541278494578-PGGCB6X7S7A65TP5Z1OX/Havana+Maxi+Dress%2C+Anya.jpg Anya Ayoung-Chee https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1541278523365-6RYIF1TAXPNQTBZ50CMV/Shirtdress%2C+Anya.jpeg Anya Ayoung-Chee https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1541277661856-OQ3MQ4CP3A14JDOSOWNF/Savannah+Trousers+1%2C+Anya.jpeg Anya Ayoung-Chee - On Sustainability Savannah Trousers https://saltandpapaya.com/meiling daily 0.75 2018-11-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1541278921304-23C60GVISG9GBBRVLBU5/Meiling.jpg Meiling https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1541279149354-UJ3EP6NGQPQKOE97UJG7/Open+Back+Shirtdress%2C+Meiling.jpg Meiling First recipient of Caribbean Designer of the Year at Caribbean Fashion Week (CFW) and in 2008 “Grand Master of Fashion Design” in the same year presented the Chaconia Silver Medal, a national award given for the designer’s long and meritorious service to Trinidad and Tobago’s business sector. 2010 one of only two designers in the English-speaking Caribbean to be invited to show at Plataforma K in Colombia the most prestigious fashion trade show in the South American region and invited back in 2011. 2011: Women of Influence Award from the Association of Female Executives of Trinidad and Tobago for her innovation and business acumen. 2012: Ocean Style Award “in recognition of tremendous effort, great accomplishments and lasting impact on Caribbean Fashion”.

At least 70 % of our materials sourced and used in design and production are natural fibers Our design work gives a nod to recycling and upcycling as we incorporate remnants of fabric where possible as signature trim and embroidery notions We are energy-efficient and rely mostly on hand-embroidery and signature bead designs to finish our garments Manufacturing occurs under ethical conditions at our design and production studio We regularly donate excess stock to charities We upcycle and repurpose garments/costume designs for seasonal stage and other productions Mentoring is a key pillar of sustainability at Meiling Inc. as we believe that our industry knowledge is something to be passed on to apprentices who can only help ensure that the Meiling brand, and its outstanding brand values, live through time” https://saltandpapaya.com/peter-moses daily 0.75 2018-11-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1541285437042-GJDI6HRIV10FPB33M1TQ/Peter+Moses.jpg Peter Moses https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1541285509312-UE90ZN06A5FUE38E55UI/Toucan%2C+Peter+Moses.jpg Peter Moses As a native of Trinidad & Tobago, he recounts his love for tropical flora and fauna which are often expressed in his vibrant and fluid work.

She has chosen to produce locally, supporting small local factories. You may even find her pouring candles in her living room. She avoids unnecessary packaging where possible, and encourages her customers to upcycle packaging where they can, given the lack of recycling facilities in Trinidad (her candle holders work well for reuse, easily repurposed into receptacles for jewelry or other small items). Sustainability will stay a focus for her as she grows, she says. https://saltandpapaya.com/bene-caribe daily 0.75 2018-11-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1541348891819-QXZTT7VGHQJCGZPMDCP2/Abby+Charles+2.jpg Bene Caribe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1541349006095-V94U3Z4D8SH0Y7JRFP7V/Bene+Caribe+yellow+batik.JPG Bene Caribe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1541349717303-PYDHKF20JKD4EOK57TXD/Audrey+Dress%2C+Leafy%2C+Bene+Caribe.jpg Bene Caribe https://saltandpapaya.com/samarah daily 0.75 2018-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1541286842284-6ESEB78NVU9HTLX72FRB/Samarah+Commissiong.JPG Samarah https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1541286947523-SCHWH3O8Z8AI8IXW5WSP/Navy+Star+Necklace%2C+Samarah.jpg Samarah https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1541287070759-6HI4YP2R1IGJWZQL7UX7/Stripe+Beach+Bag%2C+Samarah.jpeg Samarah - On Sustainability Samarah strives to create pieces that are more than accessories - she believes that items made by hand carry good energy, and that the cottage crafts industry is worth sustaining. She constantly re-evaluates where she can minimize environmental impact and waste. She’s changed materials when they were being shipped in plastic packaging, and she tries to ensure all of her supplies, whether a lump of clay or a scrap of fabric, find a home in a piece someone can love forever. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1541978282147-7PQK2BHYG3G8NIVAY6N4/43985959_518107365330819_4388771013160668182_n.jpg Samarah https://saltandpapaya.com/terms-of-service daily 0.75 2015-10-22 https://saltandpapaya.com/trinidad-popup daily 0.75 2018-12-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1543160455238-8VD9G5E2NZD0FR0LXUZS/AkashaStudio.jpg Trinidad Pop Up - Chez… Akasha Studio, located in heart of Maraval, Trinidad neighbourhood, is a yoga studio and holistic wellness centre, offering a mix of yoga and bowspring classes, along with a host of wellness services including nutrition, kinesiology, and massage therapy. 121 Long Circular Rd, Port of Spain, Trinidad https://saltandpapaya.com/shipping daily 0.75 2021-12-11 https://saltandpapaya.com/privacy-policy-hyde daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://saltandpapaya.com/shop daily 0.75 2020-12-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1607034169753-WLSX0J32ZD6YKNXHMY5G/Unnamed%2B6-2018%2B%2528green%2Band%2Bmagenta%2Bbromeliad%2529%2Bhigh%2Bres.jpg Shop https://saltandpapaya.com/shop/x1t08cjcoxd0stc9hmbyzpjaxsacm1 monthly 0.5 2021-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1607110751938-JP202W2FBPG1I3IM8L9C/Unnamed+13-2018+%28orange+heliconias+on+blue%29+website.jpg Shop - Orange Heliconias on Blue (Gaby Beston Edwards) https://saltandpapaya.com/shop/7oogbdzpcesybjx8cylopav1sxnq7z monthly 0.5 2021-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1607113420326-O3HKNA55FTYWSH8BNWN1/Unnamed+14-2018+website.jpg Shop - Red Hanging Heliconia (Gaby Beston Edwards) https://saltandpapaya.com/shop/i8p48j0y71qpju40wgj86vnb72p0qf monthly 0.5 2021-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1607114242607-L80DF19PU7I2PGPPNLCS/Unnamed+19-2018+%28cordylines%29+website.jpg Shop - Cordylines (Gaby Beston Edwards) https://saltandpapaya.com/shop/wmox0uv3zbldholltcrr5m4zol15ii monthly 0.5 2021-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1607110050476-4NW94PPTW8I4N8EH6J76/Unnamed+6-2018+%28green+and+magenta+bromeliad%29+website.jpg Shop - Green and Magenta Bromeliad (Gaby Beston Edwards) https://saltandpapaya.com/shop/rtgr4dtqw7vx8chcw95eb6zrhho2z1 monthly 0.5 2021-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1607116839863-JDBPZ3L0S9IAHYFU9LRA/Commission+2-2020+%28blush+ginger+torch%29+website.jpg Shop - Blush Ginger Torch (Gaby Beston Edwards) https://saltandpapaya.com/shop/i2ua5ivt9rl798ib9wee35k9xaw8av monthly 0.5 2021-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1607122498401-IRMELCVMPLXWJU3IBL31/shell+ginger+for+print+website.jpg Shop - Shell Ginger (Gaby Beston Edwards) https://saltandpapaya.com/shop/dhmv7vd5waa94jvjty8ltjus2f02zn monthly 0.5 2021-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1607105091021-WJSC0APYXS7GPM7IN9JD/Unnamed+4-2018+website.jpg Shop - Banana Pod (Gaby Beston Edwards) https://saltandpapaya.com/shop/ygmjzq52wjn9y7mkrj1eukla8sdpxa monthly 0.5 2021-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1607110413623-07LCHZAO8M6F9FZDDC5D/Unnamed+7-2018+%28white+hibiscus%29+website.jpg Shop - White Hibiscus (Gaby Beston Edwards) https://saltandpapaya.com/shop/bjc8lpnguzohahtw33mytcowtmwveh monthly 0.5 2021-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1607104540512-X2U1XXQRM3UBU2O5GV54/Unnamed+3-2018+%28ginger+and+crotons%29+website.jpg Shop - Ginger and Crotons (Gaby Beston Edwards) https://saltandpapaya.com/shop/3tw2zwr1zbz8jn7zs75nle8iruwx5c monthly 0.5 2021-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1607103840554-T8SV6BP8ENSU4PWUQULX/Unnamed+1-2018+%28green+and+purple+leaves%29+website.jpg Shop - Green and Purple Heliconia Leaves (Gaby Beston Edwards) https://saltandpapaya.com/shop/ewx7gn2oe0cvbkq9v6uv2b03doc2gv monthly 0.5 2021-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1607103069437-ZYK27QDFT81MY4SMNSP1/Commission+1-2020+%28Three+anthuriums%29+website.jpg Shop - Three Anthuriums (Gaby Beston Edwards) https://saltandpapaya.com/shop/6eb4yuwajf9eys9v066399d9it8atv monthly 0.5 2021-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bd4fbff7d0c913b03d6e29c/1607101624214-6G64HYINH3R8X6ZDQM06/Commission+1-2018+%28purple+banana%29+website.jpg Shop - Purple Banana (Gaby Beston Edwards)
