hi

Welcome to Helen of Troy, a highly curated independent shop established in 2022, in honour of the original Helen of Troy est 1800bc. From our Exeter home, nestled amongst moss, we offer a wide range of diverse and interesting artists, books, and treasures. It‘s very happy.

Helen of Troy probably wasn't a very happy person. The Queen of Sparta’s mythos was her craving freedom, deprived of personhood, in a bad marriage and then later cursed and avoided in Troy. So this time, her spin around the dancefloor embodies freedom - with a particular focus on soul, on the environment and the welfare of the people making them. The stock is bought from incredible, amazing, glorious artists, and we stock hundreds.

Some of these treasures are available here, or if you'd rather visit us in person, we're open at 141 Fore St!
