Lothantique Donkey Milk Solid Shampoo
This solid shampoo is a cottage favourite and a camping essential. You won’t ever have to worry about liquid spills in your bag again. Simply rub the shampoo bar between your hands or directly onto your wet hair to create a lather. Massage and rinse! It is the perfect camping companion. It is biodegradable, and 100% recyclable with bio-based craft packaging.

Dead Sea Land Body Lotion
As they say, when in Rome do what the Romans do. When you’re by the water, you might as well enjoy the incredible benefits of natural ingredients from the sea itself. This rich and velvety body lotion, enriched with natural oils and minerals from the Dead Sea, hydrates and softens dry skin without feeling greasy. Feel refreshed with a lotion from a region that boasts the highest concentration of pure oxygen at the lowest point in the world.

Coucke Tea Towels
We have always been inspired by the simple elegance of French country living so it is no mystery as to why we are in love with Coucke tea towels. Created in 1931 by René Coucke, these quality tea towels are made in northern France with the traditional knowledge from the area, which has been a pioneer in weaving. Their cotton designs range from sweet to savory delicacies, Provençal, seaside, Paris, and animals. Add a touch of French style to your cottage kitchen or bring one as an inspired host or hostess gift for a warm weekend of fun.
Tadé Recycled Tire Carriers
Did someone say rustic chic? Created by skilled artisans, these beautiful and functional baskets are made from recycled rubber tires. Unique and upcycled, use a baskets to hold all your beach towels on the deck, organizing odds and ends in the bathroom, or even to hold wood for when the temperature drops in the evening – all on top of being totally eco-friendly.
