How we make our touchstone lid

I keep a stone in my pocket most of the time. I'll forget it's there and then touch it again, and it always makes me smile a little inside.

That's the whole idea behind our perfume lid.

I want it to feel like a stone in your hand, so every time you reach for your perfume, or even just graze it in your bag, something settles. A quiet comfort that accumulates without you even noticing.

To make it, I picked my favorite stones and Fred hand-molded shapes from clay until we had something that felt right. We fired the ones we liked, chose the one, had it scanned, and turned it into a mold. Brass gets poured in, cooled, then each lid is hand-buffed one by one.

A sensory touchstone in a world pushing us the other way.
