CULTI Shop-in-Shop

One frosty day in Chicago last March, our taxi zipped past a small but attractive boutique just off Michigan Avenue called CULTI.
The name sounded familiar, something we might have read about in a newspaper or a magazine.  Despite the extreme wind for which this city is known, we braved the two blocks from our hotel and ventured over to check it out.
Little did we know that we would be fortunate to meet our now-friend Roberto, who walked us through the product offerings and explained the Culti philosphy to us over espressos.  We were captivated by the products which were presented in a way which only the Italians have mastered.  The cashmere robes and scarves, luxurious scents, glassware and furniture.  As Roberto emphasized, "everything:  MADE in ITALY! .... "UNBELIEVABLE"!  
We soon came to understand that Culti is a lifestyle project devoted to customers who appreciate simple yet beautiful objects.  Each product is made exclusively in Italy, by select craftsmen who pay meticulous attention to detail- using only materials and ingredients of the highest quality.  The look and feel is modern, but understated and sophisticated. 

Introducing the Culti shop-in-shop, the first of its kind in Canada, exclusively at Homewerx.

Deliciously Essential | MOR Essentials now in store and online


The minute this adorable collection of beauty products arrived at the store, we were in love!

Once you get past the beautiful packaging, the smelling sensation begins!  All six scents in the MOR Essential collection smell as good as they sound: Honey Nectar, Neroli Clementine, Basil & Grape, Black Currant Iris and Sugar Rose Tiger Lily.

The look of this collection is a slight departure from the typical MOR aesthetic.  Less intricate and floral,  it is refreshingly simple and modern.  Ranging from soap pumps to body butters and candles, these pieces will look amazing in any bathroom or vanity.  A pop of colour (or gray) with a classic gold stamp. 

$14.99 to $24.99, available in store on click here to purchase online!
