‘Marie Antoinette’ Box #5 Revealed
So pretty, so pink, and with historical links, our Marie Antoinette gift box has now arrived with all our customers – AND to lots of very happy reviews. Thank you ladies!
This box was created over many months of hard work with lots of work collaborating with the exclusive brand of Nina’s Paris.
Nina’s Paris is the official tea salon exclusively offering Marie Antoinette apple tea, candies and luxury items. It also displays authentic Marie Antoinette museum pieces (her shoe and letters) and I was delighted to work with them to bring you this very special box.
As well as these featured items below, our lucky ladies received ornate candlestick holders delicately wrapped in the softest tissue paper. Each candlestick holder was from the Versailles range from Merci Louis of Paris. I could just imagine these candlesticks sitting atop bureaus and desks in Marie Antoinette’s Petite Trianon. Read on to see what else was included.
NINA’S PARIS JARDIN CACHE SOAP
Strongly scented and wrapped in the most gorgeous delicate floral paper, you’ll absolutely love this silky soap.
Milled in France.
FLEUR-DE-LYS ANCIENT NOTEBOOK / DECOR ITEM
Looking like it belongs in a château or royal residence, these Fleur-de-Lys notebooks are perfect for using or as a decor item.
Subtle pink and with a patina belonging in an ancient library, I could imagine Marie Antoinette jotting down her daily notes in a notebook just like this.
NINA’S MARIE ANTOINETTE CHOCOLATE & CANDY TIN
With a strong black coffee or delicate tea, I love these gold covered chocolates and apple tea flavoured candies. The apple tea candies taste exactly the same as the official apple tea by Nina’s Paris which is made from the apples from the King’s Potager at Versailles.
Wow, could it be any more ‘Antoinette’ than tea made from the very same orchard apple trees that Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette ate from.
ANCIENT LOOK PAPER & ENVELOPE SET
Perfect for love letters, notes to beloved family members or even as a luxury note to self, this romantic writing set is romance itself.
These letter sets have my imagination drifting to ladies of the French court in their fine dresses and whimsical headwear penning invites to their girlfriends for morning tea.
Oh, what a life …
VELVET EVENING BAG / COSMETIC DRAWSTRING BAG
Every lady needs a sweet cosmetic bag. This super soft pink drawstring bag will travel well in suitcases – no crunching, and add a touch of luxury wherever you go.
Or you may like to use it as an evening bag – either way – it’s gorgeous!
ANTOINETTE SHOE DECORATIONS WITH GOLDEN RIBBON
Shoes, shoes and more shoes, we know the Queen of France loved her shoes.
Each box has a selection of shoe decorations that you can tie on your armoire door, or tie on your bureau drawer for a touch of old world style.
I think they’d also make wonderful Christmas tree decorations!
