Bubbles, brush and bliss.
For 60 years, Andrée Jardin has been making beautiful wood brushes in Brittany, France. Jardin’s husband, George-René Julio, was an apprentice to a brush-maker in Nantes and with his know-how, the pair opened up their factory in 1947. We love that they’ve maintained their traditional beauty while incorporating modern, whimsical design touches.
Might this be the squeakiest-clean gift box yet? It’s certainly up there. Fer à Cheval makes Marseille soap the old-fashioned way, creating quality, hypoallergenic blocks with that classic French look. It’s a perfect partner to the durable, heat-treated French wood of the soap holder and nail brush: Use it to get out that dirt after gardening, or that flour after baking.
Includes: - 1 Heritage Nailbrush - 1 Heritage Soap Holder - 1 Fer à Cheval Marseille Soap
