2025 has been a memorable year for Souk. We launched our website in August, and have since then spent countless hours doing what we love best, which is spending tons of time window-browsing for the good stuff and sharing it with you. (We’ve curated and listed some 472 cool products on the Souk website, and published 16 curated, shoppable stories across four categories!)

Souk Wrapped 2025 is our look back at our 9 most favourite finds from this year—the ones that made us squeal in excitement, and go ‘look at this cool thing I just came across!’ on our work whatsapp group. 

All in all, it’s been a good year, and we’re going into 2026 with a whole lot of hope and plans to keep tweaking and building a better Souk that’ll enable us to keep sharing the joy of discovery and shopping with you. Here’s wishing you a very merry christmas and a happy new year. We hope to see you in 2026 with ‘more and more beautiful things’!

01 Amaran Lilac Linen Maxi Dress

This was love at first sight—the soft lilac linen, the easy A-line shape, that gorgeous back detail, and… wait for it… a pocket. Chef’s kiss. It’s the kind of piece that looks laid-back but feels styled, ideal for days when you want compliments without trying too hard.

02 Angarakha Pants Set

Baby clothes are adorable, but let’s face it—your little one outgrows them before you can blink. Whitewater Kids is changing that with their Angrakha and pyjama set, crafted from the softest organic cotton and designed for both comfort and sustainability. This classic, gender-neutral set is hand-printed by artisans using azo-free dyes, ensuring your baby wears something safe and beautiful. The best part? It’s part of a circular system, so when it’s time to size up, you can send it back to be donated or upcycled, giving it a second life. Soft, breathable, and made to last—whether it’s passed down or kept as a keepsake, this set will stay in use long after the first wear.

03 Organic Black Garlic Caper Spread 

The last we heard of Ishka farms was when they partnered with Indian farm-to-bar chocolate brand Paul and Mike on milk chocolate coated salted capers that won a gold at the 2024 International Chocolate awards. Based in Tamil Nadu, they're a fascinating study on doing business hand in hand with development and sustainability. They describe this Black Garlic & Caper spread as the show-stopper of their current condiment range, and we'd have to agree. Perfectly balanced to highlight the sweetness of fermented garlic with the piquant capers and caper salt from their farm, this umami, eggless 'aioli' works great on toast, cheeseboards, and sandwiches.
