Sempre que vou a Braga, aproveito para visitar lojas que não conheço ou que não consigo encontrar (ou melhor, não existem) no Porto.
Uma vez que a Zilian fechou (pois, também não entendo porquê, sempre achei a loja fantástica, encontrava logo o meu número e tudo, um corredor só com 39's era o sonho de qualquer uma), fui à descoberta de outras lojas, e encontrei uma que só existe em Lisboa e…em Braga.
A montra convida-nos logo a entrar e, depois de entrarmos, o aroma doce e suave que perfuma o ar convida-nos a ficar, por algum tempo. A perdermo-nos no meio dos sabões, e das loções para o corpo, e dos cremes para o rosto, e dos perfumes e sabonetes que parecem (na verdade são mesmo) gelatina.
E se têm poucas ideias sobre o que oferecer no Natal, aqui podem encontrar presentes já feitos, embrulhados em caixas já preparadas com lacinho e tudo.
Se preferirem, podem escolher os produtos e depois “embrulhá-los” nos chamados “knot-wraps”.
Os knot-wraps são uma alternativa ao papel. E não precisam nem de tesoura nem de fita-cola. Os tecidos são lindos e podem ser usados depois, ou servirem para oferecer uma prenda a alguém.
O que dizem sobre isso:
The Lush Knot-Wrap is inspired by the Japanese art of Furoshiki, which literally means 'cloth for the bath'. Origination from Japanese culture where it promotes caring for the environment and reducing waste, it started out in the 1600's when people used it to carry their clothes and toiletries; Knot-Wrap is the eco-friendly wrapping cloth.
Lush are introducing vintage scarves into shops to encourage customers to use them instead of gift-wrap. At $5.50 each, the beautiful scarves are reusable and multipurpose. Using techniques similar to origami, it can be used for gift-wrapping, grocery shopping or simply as décor.
Each year billions of plastic bags end up as litter and reusable bags, such as Knot Wrap, can help reduce the impact to our environment. It can also reduce the amount of gift-wrap used this Christmas, as its versatility allows you to wrap almost anything regardless of its shape or size.
Choose from Lush's selection of bath and body products and then have them wrapped in a beautiful vintage scarf. It makes a gorgeous gift, but also an easy and eco-friendly way of carrying your Lush products home. The scarves can then be re-used again and again either as bags, or as fashionable head-scarves/neck-scarves etc.
The scarves are beautiful, in a selection of colours and designs and bought from various Vintage clothing suppliers, allowing us to reuse existing fabrics rather than manufacturing our own = zero carbon footprint. So more environmentally friendly an d a lot more purse friendly than a Hermes scarf, but just as gorgeous!
