Black Dust

Whether you want to sweep up the kids’ crumbs or take your dinner parties to fine dining level and clean up between courses, this convenient set takes up little room but does a big job.

And its usefulness isn’t limited to the dining table. This set is perfect for indoor gardening to collect any potting mix that may have missed the pot.

Choose a colour to match your kitchen, table setting, studio or workshop. This matte black finish evokes style and simplicity.

Artsy and crafty types will also find these a boon. Keep a separate one handy to flick away eraser shreds from your drawing, sweep threads from your stitchwork, coral beads together and much more.

This set, part of a collaboration with French design studio Mr & Mrs Clynk, brings streamlined modern chic to a classic. It consists of a brush framed in sustainably cultivate beech, with bristles in a blend of natural and synthetic fibres. Simply sweep crumbs and other particles into the lacquered metal tray and whisk them away. 

Presented in a gift box, this is an ideal gift for anyone whose enthusiasms sometimes get messy, including yourself.

Even the mundane act of sweeping up a surface can be a chance to reflect on the beauty of the materials and form. A small moment of grace and beauty in an ordinary day.

Love Potion

 “The chic, minimal packaging hints at its chemistry-set roots while the scent is clean, natural and highly addictive. Move over Love Potion No. 9...”
– House and Garden

The fragrances Laboratory Perfumes create at Laboratory Perfumes often start with a single aroma. In Samphire’s case, it was a young leaf of verbena plucked from a friend’s garden on a spring afternoon. The scent was so arrestingly fresh, Laboratory Perfumes decided to find a way to capture its zesty rush for this, their third fragrance.

A sprig of that verbena was crushed with a pinch of juniper berries from the spice rack – and Samphire began to take shape.

Moving from the kitchen to the lab, citrus oil, flourishes of lavender, basil and rosemary, as well as base notes of white amber and oak moss were blended in to create a bright, cool, aromatic scent with a lightness of touch that belies its complexity and longevity on the skin.

The finished scent was so clearly evocative of the seashore they could only call it Samphire.

Bois Imperial by Quentin Bisch

“It is thrilling to create beauty, sensuality and excitement out of the invisible”

Quentin Bisch
 

BACK IN STOCK LATE FEB!

PRE-ORDER YOURS NOW!

An all-encompassing passion is what led Quentin Bisch, a former music student and artistic director of a performing company, to trust his nose and dedicate several years to studying fragrance composition and finding his true vocation. 

All the hard work paid off when he was honoured with France's highest prize of 2020 Perfumer of the Year.

In Bois Imperial, freshly crushed and spicy thai basil leaves meet the sparkling peppery and grapefruit facets of Nepalese Timut Pepper absolute. A brilliant combination that contrasts perfectly with the bold woody signature of the fragrance.

A green, rich and earthy Haitian Vetiver oil echoes with Georgywood – an exclusive molecule with powerful cedarwood tones. This vibrating woody association is illuminated by the sophisticated floral of Givaudin's Petalia.

Majestic Akigalawood truly signs off the fragrance. This exclusive natural ingredient is upcycled from Patchouli by Givaudin. Its unique spicy-woody character is enhanced by a rich Indonesian Patchouli oil and a powerful, sustainable note of Ambrofix.

The Arts continues to inspire Quentin. He creates perfumes such as Bois Imperial in the same way he might direct a theatre performance using strong ideas, careful embellishments and surprising effects.

Quentin has made fragrances for Jean Paul Gaultier, Paco Rabanne, Saint Laurent, Azzaro, Mugler, Chloe, Ex Nihilo, Etat Libre d’Orange...

It features vivid imagery of ripe, exotic fruits bursting from a white background, with contrasting white buttons. The images are so startlingly vivid and real, you can almost taste them. 

The Cocao Guarana story, like all Isolda designs, starts with a handpainted design that’s printed into breathable, comfortable cotton and sewn by hand. A labour of a love and treat for the senses, playing up the love of riotous nature and relaxed living that Australia shares with Brazil.

Winner of GIMA (Gardening Industry Awards UK), this beautifully-designed product is perfect for collecting, storing and organising your seed packets.

As per all Burgon and Ball products it's designed to look really stylish in the home, garage, greenhouse, balcony or shed.

Gorgeous as it is, this storage tin is extremely practical, too.

One compartment even runs lengthways, giving a home to even the very largest seed packets.

Created in strong steel with a tough powder coating, this storage tin will stay looking good for years. This item is from the Garden Supplies collection of beautiful, stylish and practical gifts, sundries and storage solutions for gardeners: 

Powder-coated steel with real leather handle it is also available in a Stone colour.

We love The Little Growers' gorgeously cut and stitched aprons.

Join The Little Growers community of small garden grubs, to create connectivity, develop healthy habits and an understanding of the earth from a young age.

Apart from being fun for kids, the research tells us that, even more than weekend sports and activities, the more time young children kids spend growing, harvesting and understanding food, the better their health will be over their lifetime.

Your child's school or pre-school may already have a vegetable or herb garden. Why not take the leap and get them excited about growing their own at home. They may teach you something. You don't need a big backyard, just a few pots for herbs to start with, or some raised planters for vegetables on the balcony. 

Depending on your council, you could grow your own on your nature strip and get your street involved. Share food scraps and compost and eventually real food from the earth where you live. 

The Little Growers' aprons are machine washable and are made from a 70% linen, 30% cotton fibre blend.

Sizing best for Ages 3-7

Also available in Vege Garden Print

The functional yet beautifully decorative piece can be hung effortlessly whether ready to string up plants in the garden or use as that finishing touch to present wrapping.

Fork in the road

Many of us discovered the fun of gardening as kids even if it was just making dirt volcanoes while Nonno planted the tomato seeds.

Even more so with Sophie Conran's Gardening Hand Fork.

Sophie's fork is smaller and lighter than some garden hand forks, and offers excellent control and comfort in use. Combining designer flair with practicality, this hand fork makes weeding and cultivating so much easier so that you can get into your zen gardening place.

Based on natural olive oil, black soap is an effective ecological cleaner used for generations in France. It’s made the old-fashioned way in a cauldron, just like La Corvette’s bathroom soaps, but the addition of linseed oil and pomace oil (sourced from the remains of crushed grapes) gives it heavy-duty power.

La Corvette has been making cauldron-cooked olive oil black soap at its factory in Marseille using traditional expertise for over 125 years. Black soap is a very effective natural cleaner for the whole house, Ecological, 100% natural and biodegradable, it can easily replace about a dozen specific householder cleaning products, and eliminate the packaging that goes along with them.

FAQs

Here are a few frequently asked questions about black soap:

How do you use black soap paste in the garden?

Black soap is used in France as a natural insectide. To protect plants and roses against aphids, whiteflies and mealybugs, thoroughly mix about 1 tablespoon of black soap paste with 1 litre of water and spray the mixture on the plants, not forgetting under leaves, Repeat after two days.

Doing this at cooler times of the day avoids any risk of leaves getting burnt by the hot midday sun.

Can I use it for household cleaning?

Of course! It’s a very fuss-free, versatile cleanser, so therefore economical. No more nasty chemicals and no fainting spells from strong chemicals.

For flooring, surfaces, wood, ovens, copper, silver: Dilute about 1 tablespoon in 3 litres of hot water. No rinsing required.

For extra-deep cleaning: Dilute about 3 tablespoons in 3 litres of hot water. No rinsing required,

For maintaining silverware or DIY and garden tools: In your laundry, kitchen, garden sink or bucket, dilute about 3-4 tablespoons in 3 litres of hot water. Soak items for 5 minutes. Dry with a soft cloth.

For fabric stain removal:  Place a hazelnut-sized portion of paste on your fabric, rub lightly and leave for a few minutes. Launder the item in your washing machine as usual.

As black soap is very concentrated, for light coloured fabrics (such as white linens and cotton) we recommend testing it on a small, inconspicuous area prior to use.

For standard machine washing: Add 3 tablespoons of black soap paste for every 5 kilos of laundry. Add 100ml of white vinegar as a natural softener. Add natural essential oils for fragrance, if you like.

Can I use black soap paste on my pet?

Yes. Start by rinsing your pet’s coat and massage in 1 tablespoon of black soap paste. Rinse and wipe dry.

Is black soap paste safe?
