New Sterling Silver Solid Perfume Case From Mandy Aftel

by: Elena Knezhevich

Mandy Aftel, the founder and perfumer of Aftelier from Berkeley, California, offers a new solid perfume case made of sterling silver.

Mandy Aftel:
"I am pleased to announce the launch of the new Aftelier solid perfume case, hand made from an ounce of sterling silver. I designed this sterling silver case to replace our old rectangular ones that had sold-out. The new design is an elegant square with rounded corners, shallower and larger than its predecessor. Patricia Curtan, illustrator and printmaker whose images have graced most of the Chez Panisse cookbooks, created our stylized "wood-cut" rose and leaf. This sleek case is the perfect size and shape for the palm of your hand.

The sterling case ages in a beautiful wabi-sabi way, as it becomes part of your life and history -- evolving a tactile polish from being lovingly handled. I am always glad to see them sent back to me at the studio empty, loved, and well-used -- for a refill and a polish. My solid perfumes, in a base of organic unfiltered beeswax and organic jojoba oil, blend with your body chemistry, leaving a veil of fragrance on the skin. Each one is presented in your choice of an orange or purple handmade silk pouch."
