Here is a sneak peak at our
new soap packaging. We are moving away
from paper packaging. Each soap from now
on will go inside a re-usable, locally made, 100% cotton-canvas bag. Aqui les presento unas
fotos de nuestro nuevo empaquetaje de jabón. Cada jabón irá en una bolsa de 100% algodón-lienzo, hecho a mano aquí
en la zona, que se puede re-usar.
As for as a mission statement
for Naturalmente Mediterraneo, although I haven’t shaped it into 1 simple sentence
yet, my focus is very clear:
1) To love what I do
2) To make people feel fabulous, with soap and skincare
products made from only natural ingredients
3) To use as many local ingredients as possible and
support the local economy
Con respecto a una Declaración de Misión para Naturalmente
Mediterráneo, aunque no lo tengo en una frase sencilla todavía, mi enfoque está bastante claro:
1)
Encantar lo que hago
2) Hacer sentir maravilloso a la gente, con jabón y productos para la
piel hechos con solamente ingredientes naturales
3) Usar ingredientes de aquí de la zona y apoyar a la economía local
In line with our focus,
packaging was becoming a burden, which was moving me away from #1 - Love what I
do, so I knew we had to adapt something. We came up with the bags and I have been on fire, passionately
researching, searching, designing and creating them from the moment the idea
hit. It just feels right.
Con este enfoque, el
empaquetaje nos estaba haciendo mas y mas una carga, desviandome del enfoque Nº1 – Encantar lo que hago, asi que sabia
que era hora de adaptar algo. Desde el
momento de que se nos ocurrió las bolsas, me apasionó la idea y he estado
investigado, buscando material y diseñándolas.
We are getting the material locally, a local seamstress is sewing the bags for us, and
the print shop who is applying our logo is less than a 2 minutes’ walk from the
studio – supporting local business and providing work here. I am feeling fabulous about the
packaging change.
Conseguimos la tela aqui, una costurera nos hace las bolsas y se están imprimiendo
cerquita también, a menos de 2 minutos
del taller – apoyando los negocios aquí en nuestra zona. Me siento fenomenal con el cambio de empaquetaje.
The only thing that may still change
is the label at the top, specifying the soap type… We are still playing with
this label. Lo único que puede
cambiar todavía es la etiqueta arriba, especificando cada tipo de jabón…. Estamos
todavía jugando y probando diferentes diseños de esta.
I wish you all a happy holiday
season!! ¡¡Les deseo a todos
unas felices fiestas!!
Oh, I love the little bags! That is very wise. And afterwards you can use the bag for something else.

DeleteHi Jen,it's Maja,I left a comment earlier on your Jenora blog. As you can see,I've started my own blog recently,you're welcome to visit it.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to notice this beautiful packaging you have come up with. I totally support your idea of using local supplies and admire you devotion to beautiful nature. You're such a inspiration!
Hi Maja, Welcome to the blog-world!! Thank you. I love to hear that I could be an inspiration. I couldn't find a simple way to "follow" you on your blog. I don't want to follow by email. Once i can find that, I will join!!! Could idea with the 2 languages... Congratulations!!!!!! xoxox Jen
DeleteHmm,interesting that you mentioned that follow thing. Is there any gadget I should add? I don't use e-mail either for following others.
DeleteI hope translator worked for you,cos my posts seem to be kinda long,that's why I didn't translate them all.
Anyway,thanks Jen for visiting,I wish you happy and successful holiday season !
Diva, The follow button used to go on your blog automatically. It changed. So I think you need to add your "Followers" square to your blog. Then, just above it the sign-up or follow butter will appear. I think... good luck!!! Merry Christmas!!! xo Jen
DeleteHola Jen, cuántas cosas bonitas y cuanta inspiración en tu tienda, me encanta todo, espero que tu tienda vaya genial, espero poder visitarla algún día. Un abrazo desde el bosque ✿ Silvia.
ReplyDeleteSilvia, Muchisimas gracias. Me encantaria una visita tuya algún día!!! Felices Fiestas! xoxox Jen
DeleteBeautiful packaging, Jen! It fits in so well with your soap's look. And supporting your community? It doesn't get any better.

Michelle, Thank you so much!! Cost is always a dilema but I choose to spend a little more and support local than buy in bulk something that may be made in a sweat shop in China... and hope that my ethics come through in my product so that people understand the price of the product. I try hard to stay true to what I believe in, keeping my passion alive and transmitting that through my products. Loved your comment. happy holidays! xo xo xo Jen
