BUTTON STORY
⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯
As chocolatiers, our mission is to ensure that our creations are as beautiful as they are delicious. To achieve this, we sought inspiration from our button collection. The vibrant patterns adorning the chocolates are illustrations of our buttons, carefully silk-screened using tinted cocoa butter.
Our intention was to establish a connection between the outside appearance and the flavors within. By harmonizing the aesthetics and taste, we aim to create an enchanting experience for every chocolate lover.

BUNNY STORY
BUNNY STORY
⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯
Our journey began in 1993 with a garden party held at our residence, graced by the presence of Eartha Kitt, the renowned actress and singer best known for her role as Cat Woman in the original Batman TV series. This event became the catalyst for our exploration into the world of chocolate making. Hand-rolled and infused with fresh mint, the bonbons we served were an instant hit, capturing the hearts of our guests.
Amidst the festivities, Eartha's keen eye caught sight of an intriguing wooden rabbit figurine tucked away discreetly. This rabbit, from the shabby chic era, appearing to be carved from an old straw broom. It stood out amidst the decor of our home, piquing her curiosity about its backstory. In response, I shared that it was a birthday gift to Timothy from a friend, jokingly explaining that we couldn't bury it yet in the backyard, as the friend was attending the party. Laughter filled the air as we exchanged these playful remarks. A week later, a package arrived, bearing Eartha's name. To our astonishment, nestled inside was a magnificent black vintage Lalique crystal rabbit, accompanied by a note expressing her gratitude for the splendid gathering. With a touch of feline wit, she wrote, "Thank you for a wonderful party, and now you have the purrr-fect bunny."
And that’s how our journey began.
