Feeling generous? Pamper yourself or a loved!

Taking inspiration from a view over the terracotta roofs of an Italian city we designed this artisan soap. It pampers you with a creamy lather created by 20% Kokum, Shea butter, and Avocado oil in the mix.
Rosemary and cypress create a tangy invigorating fragrance.
Historic city crests of Pisa, Carrara, Alessandria, Acerra and Pescara inspired the motifs.

Have you been to one of those cities, visited one, or planning to do so?

We wanted the gift-box to be as luxurious and special as the soaps.
So we asked our favorite designer she created this invitation into the Palazzo experience.
What do you think?

Our new-old house came with a huge butterfly bush. And those visitors are our new obsession. Still trying to get the hummingbird on camera. Aren't they beautiful!
Does anybody know what they are?

One Palazzo always in reach.
The gift box starts and wraps up the story. It allows you to spin your tale around the gift you're giving. Is it a memory, a promise, a dream?
