About Beryl Hankin

Guru is an independent fair trade boutique that has been active since 1972 in Darlington, UK. I work there with my best friends Tony and Colin. In addition to my other duties, I manage social media for the shop and spin-off activities and for myself. Growing up back in the 1940s I never could have imagined such a thing as being able to communicate with people all over the world via the internet but here we are doing just that. To quote Jerry Garcia of The Grateful Dead, "What a long strange trip this has been" - and for us at least, it's not over yet! #gurutribeforever

Our friend and Guru model, Zoe!

Zoe just happened to be around one day when we needed a model. We felt so lucky when out of the blue we asked her and she said yes. She mentioned that she had done a little studio modelling before but not boho styles. I think we all agreed, however, that she really suited the boho look and that she was very natural and very good. Shortly after that, we read on social media that she went on to win the Alternative Model of The Year title… WOW!!! xx

hippieDon’t confuse being posh, or rich or poor or anything else with having a bit of class. Class in this context is not about social standing, how you dress or what possessions you have, but about how a person conducts his or herself – and we could do with a bit more of it at all levels!!!
The most threadbare and humble amongst us often have it in bucketloads, so here’s to all the ‘class acts’ out there, whoever and wherever you are as you are much appreciated.
