Our favourite lifestyle store in Palma!
Buying presents for friends can be as easy as giving them what you’d love to receive yourself. Admittedly, this could potentially lead to some awkward situations, like surprising a friend who suffers from a fragrance allergy with a bottle of potent perfume. However, I’m sure anyone would be thrilled to receive Rialto Living’s Arthouse Unlimited soaps. I can tell you I certainly would!
Scented soaps are not only the easiest presents to give but also the loveliest to unwrap, because they feel like a luxury treat. And there are many reasons why ARTHOUSE Unlimited’s handmade soaps stand out from the rest. The charming soaps are exquisitely presented in gold embellished recyclable boxes and depict lovely designs featuring nature’s noble giants, gorillas, colourful sea creatures or different dog breeds, to name but a few. But it’s not just the soaps’ packaging which make them special. Soaps are made in the UK using essential oils and ‘edible’ fragrance combinations such as wild fig & grape, jasmin & orange and pomegranate & mint. Soaps are hand-inscribed with cute messages by the artists who design and make them to boot.
Last but not least, there’s a story behind the soaps’ creators. Arthouse Unlimited is a collective of artists living with complex epilepsy and learning difficulties who require varying levels of support. Artists work alongside instructors to create artworks, such as the triple milled soaps, which are developed into designer products and sold around the globe. One of Arthouse Unlimited many artists, Peter Andrews, has said: “I cry my eyes out in happiness each time people buy my work. My family buy my work and now half the world buys my work. It’s amazing!”
The 100g paraben free organic soaps are made with carefully sourced ingredients that are sustainable and environmentally friendly.
