Pears has been one of England’s most beloved brands of soap for years and years! And we’re talking, years and years – Did you know? According to records, Pears Soap was the world’s first registered brand and is therefore the world’s oldest continuously existing brand. This particular box features the the brand’s most famous marketing campaign: Millais’s painting Bubbles. Today’s Pears’ soap is unfortunately no longer the same.

Enchanting Scents
Perfumeria Gal tins
Made in Spain

Here we’ve got some brooches laid out in a Carefree (gum!) tin.

Smaller boxes are the perfect size for keeping some rings! Whether they’re sitting prettily in your box at home, or whether you’re out travelling, these lovely boxes are the perfect companion to your little bits and pieces of vintage jewellery.

And EVEN smaller tins are great for tiny things such as our mini rings!

There once was a Captain

It wasn’t a He

Her name was Lara

So fabulous, was she!

 

With bucket loads of attitude

She takes to the highest altitudes

“I say, this is your Captain speaking,

“Fasten your seatbelts, stop squealing!”

 

Up in the air, it’s no-nonsense in epaulettes

Back on land, curvy dresses flatter her silhouette

You’d scarce recognise her

She causes quite a stir!

 

A beauty to behold in dramatic frocks

In somber shades of jet, ebony and soot,

Sweet, sexy, severe and stylish

Her black dresses are timeless, and classy to boot!

 

So book a trip with us

We suggest you check in early

You don’t need a visa or passport

And baggage allowance is unlimited, surely!
