New in store : Olivina

We have a fantastic new Bath & Body line in store that I know 
you are all going to love just as much as we do 
(confession: I was wearing all four fragrances within five minutes of receiving our delivery in store)!


Olivina is inspired by the natural beauty of the wine country of The Nappa Valley,
where olive groves and vineyard flourish. Olivina is literally and figuratively a green company.
The foundation ingredients - organically grown hand-pressed, anti-oxidant olive
and grapeseed oils - come from a land dotted with olive trees and world renowned grapevines.


Hand creams available at Apache Rose in:
Honeysuckle Rose
Lavender Bitter Orange
Meyer Lemon
Classic Olive

Also available:
Hand & Body Wash
Hand & Body Lotion



"Olivina is passionate about responsible body and skincare. We are an artisanal company located in Napa Valley, one of the most beautiful wine-producing regions on earth.  Our mission is simple, perhaps a bit old-fashioned.  We strive to create a premier skincare experience with products that are highly effective and consistently earth-friendly.  An absolute pleasure to experience.  Our products have always been made and tested in Californiato ensure superior performance.  All of our packaging is recyclable.  Ultra-pure our products are free of parabens and sulfates.  Not one of our products has ever been tested on animals.  In other words, no nasties, no rubbish, no funny business."

Just perfect!

Ever since I can remember, and in every workplace I can remember, I have been considered somewhat of a bowerbird (bowerbird is my version, however 'pen thief' seems to be the term used by all others!)
I don't mean to do it, but if I did, I would actually consider myself quite the expert!

So THIS is going to be a problem...

I do believe we have found the perfect pen to write with at Apache Rose!

We sell them in the silver colourway, as shown above and antique brass
(be quick, before I 'collect' them all)!
