Skinny laMinx & Frazer Perfume

Kim — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 07:25:41 +0000

Now this is a covet-able purchase if I ever saw one! Once again Skinny laMinx has teamed up with Frazer Perfume to create a beautiful perfume solid in a ceramic case.

The African Parfum Solide Collection is made using fragrance from natural sources for a subtle scent that sits close on the skin. The fragrance is set in beeswax and encased in either an African blackwood or porcelain container. Frazer sources the wood from the Mezimbite Forest Center in Mozambique and works alongside director Allan Schwarz to promote sustainable forestry and community upliftment. Blackwood is the hardest wood available, and ensures that the perfume doesn’t seep through the grain. It also has a solid weight that gives the container a sense of gravitas. The smooth, unglazed porcelain containers have a delicate appeal further enhanced by the hand-sized egg shape design.

The African Parfum Solide Collection comprises of six scents: Namibia, After the Rains, African Soliflore, Rose, African Soliflore Jasmine, African Soliflore Ylang Ylang and African Soliflore Ornage Blossom. The Solide Parfum is available in either the porcelain or African blackwood container, retails for R500 and is handmade to order - bespoke@frazerparfum.com.

Skinny laMinx Rough Cuts

Kim — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 05:05:03 +0000

Last night was the launch of the Skinny laMinx Rough Cuts Collection. The Collection was inspired by Heather’s love for Scandi Design, but you’ll see it has a strong fit with Africa. Having spent a lot of time at Design Africa, Heather and Binky Newman of Design Afrika began collaborating – both Heathers Scandi Prints and Designs Africa’s weaving techniques, influencing each other! And what a fantastic result!
