The story of how Zador fine bars came about is truly a unique one. It all starts with Heviz thermal water and all the rich vitamin E infused
natural oil drops that we poured into the soaps.
The sweet, mystic, spicy, woody, fruity and floral scents that we added to these soaps also give each bar their very own distinctive scents and personalities.

Zador soaps are manufactured in the hilly Balaton Highland. The Castle ZADOR
can be found in the heart of Europe after surviving the storms of the
Middle Ages. Hidden at the foot of the castle, you can find Pecsely
where the factory represents a new trend in the world of
natural and handmade, gorgeously packaged soaps by combining traditional and modern manufacturing
technologies.

Heviz, Europe’s largest hot spring has the
healing power to moisturize and repair the skin with its miraculously
high mineral content. The soaps contains premium quality, natural
ingredients. Due to the unique healing effect of the world famous
thermal water in Heviz, these soaps nourish and protect the skin and also provide great health benefits.The sulphur, iron, iodine, calcium, magnesium and
numerous other magical minerals surface from a depth of 1,000 metres and
reach their final destination in our luxury soap collection
made with a unique technology called “triple milled”.

Introducing: The Montblanc Heritage Rouge et Noir Collection

editorBlog 171 robson street, 1906, 4810, anniversary, downtown, exclusive, heritage, limited edition, luxury, montblanc, Montblanc pens Canada, montblanc vancouver, only at charals, pen, rare, rouge et noir, special, stadium district, vancouver, yaletown

The Montblanc Heritage Collection captures the vision and pioneering
spirit characteristic of Montblanc from its earliest history. The
Collection celebrates a rich inheritance in historic design, an ongoing
spirit of invention and a devotion to perfectly executed details – a
philosophy that continues to shape Montblanc craftsmanship today. One of
the first fountain pens created by Montblanc according to these
principles provides the inspiration for the Rouge et Noir Limited
Edition 1906.

When it was developed in 1906, the ‘Rouge et Noir’ fountain pen was
considered an outstanding technical achievement, ensuring simple
operation without the need for dipping the nib into an inkwell. Limited
to 1,906 pieces, the Rouge et Noir Limited Edition 1906 celebrates the
110-year-old pioneering spirit of Montblanc. Reinterpreting the
legendary writing instrument, it features a longer, slimmer silhouette,
modern piston filler technology and craftsmanship refined over
generations. The cap and barrel are made of traditional black hard
rubber, the same material used for the first Montblanc fountain pens
made in the early 20th century, and the cap top in coral and ivory resin
is crowned by the Montblanc emblem.

The Montblanc Heritage Rouge et Noir Collection is now available at CHARALS. Call 1.800.811.7333 or email info@charals.com to reserve today.

Introducing: The Montegrappa Copper Mule Pen

editorBlog 171 robson street, ballpoint, charals, cocktail, copper, fountain pen, limited edition, luxury, montegrappa, moscow mule, mule, only at charals, pen, rare, robson street, rollerball, vodka

Within a stone’s throw of the
Montegrappa works – home of the oldest pen manufacture in Italy – is the heart
of another industry. Grappa is the local tipple, and it has never been more
popular, finding new friends in bars and saloons from Mumbai to Manhattan to
Macau. Following the success of the spectacular limited edition Grappa pen in
hammered copper, Montegrappa again honours the locals’ favourite beverage with
a pen inspired by both the drink and the equipment that distils it.

Featuring a shape that is classic Montegrappa, curvaceous yet sleekly
contemporary, the Montegrappa Mule pen collection further displays its familial
links with a cap top bearing the famous “1912” logo, while the nib is
embellished with a filigree Montegrappa pattern. The cap and barrel are crafted
in mirror-polished copper, further defined by a brushed silver-plated trim. The
effect recalls the well-used, vintage piping and tubing employed in the process
of producing grappa. Over the time, each Montegrappa Mule will acquire its own
unique patina through handling by its fond owner, truly personalising the
writing instrument. Easily recyclable, copper is a noble and hygienic metal
that slows down the growth of germs. It is widely used in refined gastronomy
and health equipment, as well as in architectural design and various artistic
forms.

Available in three versions, the Montegrappa Mule will suit the user of
fountain, roller or ballpoint pens. Further individualising the Mule is the
choice of writing grades to suit the owners of the fountain pen, with nibs in
Fine, Medium and Broad, and carry its ink supply with either a cartridge or
converter.

Merely honouring the grappa tradition would be enough to explain the design of
the Montegrappa Mule, but Montegrappa’s creativity has been imbued with the
spirit of the … spirit! Initially inspired by the classic Moscow Mule cocktail,
traditionally served in a copper mug, Montegrappa has registered an exciting
new grappa-based cocktail. Created by famous Bassano-based mixologists,
brothers Edoardo and Leone Miotti, the recipe is specially developed and
already featured on the cocktail menu of Bar Danieli. The Montegrappa Mule will
be sipped with relish during the promotion of the pen at various
sipping’n’sampling bar and in-store events. The drink itself is made of 40°
premium-quality grappa, bergamot scents and a habanero-chilli pepper twist.

Securing the link between pen and drink will be a copper mug given to each
purchaser of the first 500 Montegrappa Mule pens, the mug personalised with a
special Montegrappa Mule logo. And to fill the mug? Each pen purchase will also
include the special recipe. Grappa, regrettably, will not be included.

Pricing is $395 for the ballpoint, $455 for the rollerball, and $525 for the fountain pen .Find this stunning Montegrappa piece exclusively at CHARALS in Vancouver. For more information or to reserve, call 1.800.811.7333 or email info@charals.com.

Introducing: Michael Aram

editorBlog 171 robson street, beautiful, detail, exclusive, handcrafted, houseware, india, luxury, michael aram, new york, one of a kind, only at charals, rare, silver, spectacular, vancouver

Originally from New York, Michael Aram discovered the rich metalworking traditions while on a trip to India which would later inspire him to create a collection based on these untapped skills.

Each Michael Aram piece is meticulously handcrafted and reflects humanity in the most direct way. It is only through this process that Aram feels that the true meaning and characteristics of his work comes through. It is this process that causes us to pause and consider them momentarily and hence adding a ceremonious event from day-to-day.

The objects range from tableware to
furniture, both are sold in galleries and specialty stores worldwide. You can now find select pieces from the Michael Aram collection at CHARALS at 171 Robson Street. Call 604.974.9497 or email info@charals.com for more details.
