the Sage & the Butterfly

THIS SHOP IS ONE OF THE BEST! Out of all my travels and my shopping experiences around the world this shop is memorable and right in my backyard. A person who enjoys fashion, modern art, to just chatting with the owner Vio, everything is interesting and an experience. I bought a pair of earrings made in the Amazon handcrafted with responsibly collected materials and every time I wear them I get compliments. Everything Vio curates into her store is wearable art. Raw, inspiring, transportive, and truly one of a kind, every purchase will be with you till the day you die. Vio makes sure materials and techniques used for pieces are ones better for the environment and Vio works one on one with the artists themselves so you can feel good about your purchase. Support the good things.

My husband & I just happened on this store a few weeks ago and what a find! The shop owner is just lovely and we enjoyed learning about the handmade pieces she had available in the store. I bought a necklace and bracelet and have loved wearing them. I plan to go back to shop whenever I am in Idyllwild. I definitely recommend checking out this shop either in person or on line.

Small shop but lovely. Nice shop owner and really worth visiting. Shame there are so many empty shops nearby.

Love this store. I was so fascinated that Vio could fit all those gorgeous peices made by indigenous tribes, in that cute store. When you walk in you get the sense that you are somewhere else. And the Sage knives are a great gift if you know a man who is hard to shop for. Both Sage and ORG by vio are great gifts for the holidays, mothers/​fathers day and they are great conversation piece. I love sharing stories when I wear my ORG by vio necklaces and earrings.

Gorgeous little shop! Beautiful jewelry handmade in the Amazon, awesome knives and blades made in Idyllwild… this shop could easily be placed, as is, into an art gallery. Helpful tip: if you see something you like, you’d better grab it up! Many of these pieces are one of a kind and can go pretty quickly! Definitely an experience you will cherish!
