More than simply convenient and hygienic… Stylish!
Fighting the massive use of plastic nowadays means first of all to pay attention to our daily actions and to consciously recycle this material, originally not intended to be a “throwaway” material (since its formula is virtually ever-lasting!). And it also means to be ready not to use plastic, when it’s not strictly needed! The old plastic cases, which toothbrushes used to be marketed in were probably among the very first plastic packaging to disappear from our supermarkets some time ago… And fortunately enough, we can say now! However, first of all when you travel, the idea of having your toothbrush “wandering” free in your beautycase, likely to get in…

Tilda Plum Garden
The new Tilda collection … but we’re going to be ahead of the game! In the ultra-millennial Chinese tradition, the plum tree flower represents perseverance and courage: it’s a humble bud with delicate, rose petals, quite similar to its more famous “cousin”, the cherry blossom (so venerated in Japan). For her next collection – that will be here in some weeks (the official launch is scheduled by mid July) – Tone Finnanger has chosen exactly the plum tree as the protagonist, as we can see already in its name “Plum Garden”. Actually, we don’t know the reason why, but we love the thought of connecting this choice to the fact…
