Happy Friday everyone! We've got another wonderfully creative women to introduce …
Elea Lutz,
of
Nostalgia Organic Soap and Toiletries.
Elea Lutz is the playful and imaginative designer behind the innovative toiletries company, Nostalgia.
Elea launched her design-driven brand in 2008 pairing organic, skin-nurturing botanicals with vintage-inspired packaging and textiles inspired by the homespun world of her grandmother.
Nostalgia is available worldwide at some of the finest stores and boutiques, and has been featured in such high-style media as DailyCandy, Sunday Times, Seventeen and SimplyHer Magazines.
Elea has gained wide recognition for her U.S. patent-pending fabric packaging and sewing-pattern label designs that proudly house Nostalgia’s soap sack soaps.
Each soap sack arrives in a limited-edition fabric sack with a label that unfolds into a reusable sewing pattern that can be used to create a pincushion, egg cozy or other keepsake to enjoy long after the soap is gone.
Elea lives in Scottsdale, Arizona with her husband and 2-year-old son. To learn more about Nostalgia, please visit nostalgiaorganics.com or Elea’s blog at nostalgia.typepad.com
