MEET THE NEW MS CHIMP

We're launching the new Ms Chimp - the second version of one of our beloved creatures. Being limited edition, less than 50 of the first version were produced, and we still have a few in stock, but the online shop and our stockists will carry the new Ms Chimp from now on. The new female chimpanzee is made from the softest wool tweed in ecru, saffron, chocolate, coffe, and taupe, and has huge felt eyes in a lovely teal colour.

Note: If you're interested in getting the last pieces of the first edition, please e-mail us to see if we still have one for you.

CANDY BOX

In 1887 two german men living in Portugal, Ferdinand Claus and Georges Ph. Schweder, founded the first Portuguese factory of soaps and perfumes in the northern city of Oporto.

Fast forward a century, two decades and a whole lot of history, and Claus Porto remains the portuguese face of luxury bath products, making an appearance in some of the most beautifully put together bathrooms worldwide.

With a wide range of products from scented candles to bath salts, our absolute favourites are the '12 Months of Soap' gift box, containing twelve tradicionally packaged soaps for each month of the year, and the 'Luxury Guest Soaps' kit, available in three versions, in a pretty golden-hued box cointaining 15 soaps of 5 varieties, and so colourful they look almost good enough to eat (but please don't!).

As the saying goes, Cleanliness is next to Godliness... so lock up your bathroom, light up a scented candle, and drift away in the pleasures of bathing.

SOAP OPERA

Opened in 1707 by William Fortnum and Hugh Mason in London's Piccadilly, Fortnum & Mason is an instituion of all things gourmet that has seen 300 years of history and yet still remains very much alive and kicking.
To prove just that, the makers of some of the yummiest and beautifully packaged delicacies have launched a delightful line of bath products, Fortnum’s Toiletries, well presented in vibrant colours such as lime green, turquoise, warm pink and deep purple.
In two scents, Rosa and Grapefruit, the range consists of scented candles, hand wash, bath and shower gel, hand and body lotion, eau de toilette and, our favourite, a gift package of 3 soaps.

Heavenly!
