The first toothpaste introduced in Italy in 1905 was Pasta del Capitano Original Recipe. It quickly gained notoriety for its distinctive flavour, which combines carnation, spearmint, and cinnamon leaves to give users a clean breath and a self-assured smile.  The reason this toothpaste became an instant hit in 1905 was its paste- like consistency. Until the beginning of the 20th century, teeth were brushed with tooth powder which was not always convenient in practice.  These toothpastes gain from the addition of organic mint and Sulfetal Zn, a zinc-based formula that delays plaque and tartar formation, inhibits microbial growth, and aids in the prevention of bad breath. The tubes are made with PBL, are entirely recyclable, and contain no aluminum. Excited to share that we now stock Pasta Del Capitano toothpaste, toothbrushes and chewing gum in store and on-line !

  While I am away home (to Donegal) this weekend, I thought no better time than now to post about this.  Donegal   hosiery is located in Glenties, a lovely small town on Ireland's North West coast, encircled by the Bluestack Mountains.  For hundreds of years, the town of Glenties has been associated with the production of socks and knitwear. In reality, the film 'Dancing at Lughnasa,' starring Meryl Streep and scripted by Brian Friel, is based on the town of Glenties, where the Mundy sisters, who inspired the play and film, made living knitting socks for the local industries.   Socks from Donegal , Ireland are the one-of-a-kind end result of a family business that specialises in the production of traditional wool socks in Donegal tweed c o l o u r s . In the patchwork tapestry of colour that is Ireland's Donegal , the jagged patterns of mountains and moor merge with colours of the untamed sea and blue sky. People come from all over the world to find ser...

NAPAPIJRI - a Italian brand with a sort of a Finnish name, a Norwegian flag as its logo. It's known for its great selection of clothing accessories and footwear.  Fun fact: In Finnish, the word 'napapirii' means 'Arctic Circle', Napa means 'Polar' and 'Piiri' means circuit of circle. In 1987, an Italian travel bag manufacturer created Napapijri in the heart of Europe's tallest mountain, Mont Blanc. By fusing cutting-edge materials and meticulous attention to design, Napapijri gave outdoor clothing a whole new meaning. Inspired by the elegance of the century's greatest missions and the daring explorers who turned their lives into extraordinary trips. The original Bering Bag, which was our initial product and quickly became a mainstay, encapsulated this in a little over 60 centimeters of length. Design: Merging Italian design and outdoor function   Although the Norwegian flag can seem like a mystery, but the flag is a nod to the great Norwegi...
