Ineke – exclusive fragrances at Living in Store

Living in Store is thrilled to be only the second UK stockist of the incredibly special Ineke fragrance range.

The six fragrances, created by Canadian-born perfumer Ineke Ruhland, are beautiful and imaginative, both in their scent and in their presentation.  Cleverly packaged with a keen attention to detail, each eau de parfum  tells a story through photos, art, snippets of verse and, most importantly, the fragrance itself.

Using lyrical titles that evoke thoughts of romance, nature, chemistry and courage, Ineke fragrances are rooted in their creator’s  classical perfumery education and apprenticeship in France – After My Own Heart, Balmy Days & Sundays, Chemical Bonding, Derring-Do, Evening Edged in Gold and Field Notes from Paris.

Living in Store aims to provide the kind of shopping experience rarely found outside of London’s famous and historic department stores.  Ineke joins an exclusive group of fragrance houses and skincare brands at Living in Store including Vrai by Fragonard, Nobile 1942, Fougere Royale by Houbigant, Ombre Rose by Jean-Charles Brosseau, Amanda Lacey and Elizabeth’s Daughter.

The Ineke range will be available online shortly at £80 for 75ml.

Handmade heaven – luxury chocolate by Amelia Rope

Fresh in this week is the latest creation from master chocolatier Amelia Rope – dark, pale and flavoured chocolate bars. Amelia made a name for herself with an exclusive range of crystallised flowers dipped in chocolate and decorated with gold or silver leaf but now everyone can indulge in a little luxury with these special bars. Each one is part of an edition, made in small batches, and is hand written with its edition number.

The handmade bars each weigh 100g –  larger than many other premium chocolate bars – and the outer sleeve keeps it fresher incase you don’t manage to eat the whole bar in one go. All the bars are gluten free.  Dark Editions are suitable for vegetarians and vegans and the Pale Editions suitable for vegetarians.  Flavours include Mandarin, Spearmint, Lemon and Sea Salt and Rose at £5.60 per bar.

Plastic fantastic

Fresh in for Spring, we have a small range of bath mats, rugs and blankets from Pappelina, Swedish designers of simple, functional and high quality homewares.

Founder/designer Lina Rickardsson starting making rugs using linen, sacking and paper – hence the name of her company, Pappelina.  She stumbled upon plastic as a rug material when looking around for a weavery to manufacture her first bulk order of linen rugs.  There she found stocks of plastic cuts from the 1960s that proved inspirational and lead to the design of her first plastic rug.

Pappelina’s modern plastic rugs are made from PVC plastic and polyester warp, and are surprisingly soft, supple and warm to the touch.  They are machine washable at 30 degrees.

We have the Vera and Viggo bathmats (70 x 90cm) in grey and nougat at £50 and Viggo long rugs (180 x 230cm) in a brown, vanilla and grey mix at £102.

Lina’s latest extension to her range is blankets made from 50% wool and 50% cotton chenille, which can be hand washed or dry-cleaned.  The Vera design in cream and nougat is £125.

To order or for further information please call us on 01628 533433 or email orders@livinginstore.com
