THE ULTIMATE

Entermodal. Truly the most beautiful leather bags ever created. These luxurious bags are the brainchild of Larry Olmstead who is steadfast in his environmental and sustainable practices. Adhering to pre-industrial revolution techniques for the creation of each bag ensures a quality and product longevity long forgotten by most modern, disposable minded companies.  Each bag is designed and constructed to withstand a life time of use. To insure the highest level of quality each bag is HAND CRAFTED at the Entermodal studio in Portland, Oregon.  It takes 2-5 days to make a single bag as every detail uses old world techniques and no machinery. This allows Entermodal to support local industries, reduce transportation impacts, participate in education and promote a dying trade in America. The vegetable tanned leather used is free from formaldehyde and heavy metals. In addition all of the tannins used are sustainably harvested, meaning that trees are not damaged in the process. It doesn’t really get much better than that. Did we mention that these bags are drop dead beautiful too?

For a lot more details on how and why Entermodal is such an amazing company, visit their website.

DIRT candles

Here they are. Some of the finest candles on the market for so many reasons. Let’s just get straight to it, shall we. Who doesn’t like candles? I can’t think of one person. And what’s not to like about DIRT candles? They are made from 100% natural soy wax and use organic ingredients as well as environmentally sound business practices. They come in a recycled/recyclable paper box, encased in a recyclable (of course) glass jar and have an aluminum snuffing lid. The company believes in giving back to our society and that’s why their products are environment-friendly, animal-friendly, and people-friendly. Dedicated to making a difference in the world, DIRT donates a portion of all sales to various causes chosen by their customers and employees! How cool is that?!

VINTAGE AMERICA

Oh yes, another quality product by LA designer Kim White. These little gems are hand made in LA by Ms. White using surplus upholstery fabric from vintage American automobiles! It’s true, cars made in the states once had style and flair. Just look at some of those patterns and tell me life wouldn’t be just a bit happier if you could hop into a car that looked like that inside. That is unlikely to happen, unless you just scored your grandmas minty 64’ Nova that’s been garaged this whole time. For those of us who don’t have a stylish granny, don’t worry, there is still hope. Simply pick up one of these awesome cosmetic/travel bags of Kim’s and you can have a bit of US automotive history with you all the time. They are about 7” long and 4” high so they tuck into your purse really well. You could use them as a little clutch for evening too as they are the right size for cell phone, keys, ID, money and lip gloss.  And they are made from UPHOLSTERY so they are pretty much bullet-proof. And really cute.

“SCENT IS LIFE”

And therefore we introduce CB Perfume, aka, I Hate Perfume. This is a line of unique yet familiar scents whose names alone will make you want to buy them. The creator of these specialty scents is Christopher Brosius, a perfumer who is at heart both a scientists and artist. I think he's been able to combine all of his talents in to one pretty neat little package, and a good smelling one at that. If you like scent, but are turned off by the predictable, trendy perfumes that overwhelm in a crowded restaurant or bar then CB perfume is for you. To quote him directly will give you a good idea of where he's coming from.

"Scent is Life. And so it is. We live because we breathe and with each breath, we smell. This is inevitable. The Sense of Smell is our first and most immediate link to the world around us. It reminds us of what (and who) we love. Smell is perhaps the most complex sense we possess and possibly this is why it is the least understood and most often taken for granted…"

I have been a fan of CB perfume for years and I use them in so many ways. They are great as a perfume (most are gender neutral), they also work splendidly as a mist for your sofa or furniture before guests arrive. Keep one in the bathroom as an air freshener that doesn't smell like a urinal cake. It's also nice to spray some on your hand towels or as a linen spray. The perfumes aren't full of icky alcohol and chemicals so it's safe just about anywhere.

If you're into original, affordable and beautiful things I highly recommend trying any of the CB collection scents. Here is a list of what we are currently stocking at Arboretum:

• Burning Leaves
• Winter 1972
• Violet Empire
• To See a Flower
• Mr. Hulot's Holiday
• Under the Arbor
• In the Summer Kitchen
• Just Breathe
• Cedar-wood Tea

Just give us a call if you want us to ship some to you. They cost $65. You won't regret it. ******* Available in 100 ml. glass spray bottles. $65.00 each TO ORDER call our Holiday Hotline 24 hours a day. 707.433.7033
