Little Indulgences

Today we continue with our favourite gifts to give and to receive. In our opinion there is nothing more indulgent that a great fragrance, and that is why we love the collection of perfumes from Miller et Berteux so much!. We just got in the classic "Green, Green, Green" #3 which has been our most popular, and we are excited to add a new fragrance "A Quiet Morning".

Another one of our favourite indulgences are the Claus Porto Soaps. Made with 100% Vegetable ingredients and seven times milled, they are so moisturizing & fragrant! and with the gorgeous packaging, they are perfect to display in our new Canvas Bisque soap dishes available in mint and indigo

Happy Shopping!

La Merceria Daily!

Things are getting really hectic at the shop as we prepare for the holiday season, but just wanted to share a fun contest we are having. We asked customers to share their daily experience at La Merceria, by posting those pictures on Instagram with the tag #lamerceriadaily, for a chance to win a copy of Kinfolk Magazine gorgeus  new book The Kinfolk Table. It has been so exiting to get all the beautiful shots so we wanted to share some here, and send a reminder that there are a few more days left since the contest ends October 31st. Good luck! and thanks to those that have shared already.
