We’re kicking off 2022 with the mantra ‘New Year, New Habits’, which includes taking time out of our busy schedules to look after the body & mind. To help you get started, we’ve targeted three main body points that can benefit from a few of our favourite self-care products.
Skin
Our biggest organ is our skin, so it makes sense to make sure that we take the time out to nurture it, whether that be through massages, moisturising, or simply drinking more water. Here is our top selection of products to make sure your skin gets the attention it needs.
The Dream Dream Night Facial Oil by Neighbourhood Botanicals is the perfect serum to help your skin maintain a healthy pH balance. It contains a blend of much-needed fatty acids and vitamins to regenerate skin cells, heal the day’s damage and re-plump your skin whilst the phytosterols and vitamin C promote skin elasticity.
Using your hands daily means that they are more prone to dryness. To combat this, we recommend Frama’s Apothecary Hand Lotion, created from the brand’s signature scent, featuring Ylang Ylang, Sandalwood and Cedar Wood. Its captivating aroma calms and relaxes the senses while leaving your skin smooth and hydrated with its pure and naturally derived ingredients, all in a custom coloured Italian glass bottle.
Whether you're in the bath or the shower, both are the perfect place to make sure your skin is getting the love and attention it needs. London label Verdant Alchemy specialise in modern natural and vegan products, like the Drift Off Bath & Shower Oil. It's made with calming notes of lavender, patchouli and vetiver essential oils known for their nourishing and relaxing properties.
Hair
Aside from getting out the knots, brushing your hair has many positive benefits. It can promote hair health and shine by stimulating the sebaceous glands in your hair follicles and distributing natural, healthy oils from the roots to the ends. The scalp stimulation also acts as a massage which helps blood flow and hair growth.
There's no better tool to help with all this than the Bachca wooden rounded hairbrush. It’s made with a mixture of nylon pins and boar bristles that seal the hair cuticles, enhance shine and create volume.
Inner Body
Wellness starts from within, which is why, at Couverture, we have spent time making sure that we offer you only the best remedies for day-to-day life.
One family who knows all about looking after your insides is Wilder Botanics husband and wife team, Rachel and Charlie. Practising as herbalists and naturopaths for the past thirteen years, this family-run business is all about incorporating the healing benefits of herbs into our daily lives, with products created from the finest organic wildcrafted energetic ingredients, with no chemicals or preservatives.

HAY x Emma Kohlmann
HAY’s latest collaboration with artist Emma Kohlmann brings her painterly touch to the table. For La Pittura, Kohlmann translates her loose, watercolour-like motifs onto stoneware plates, bowls, cups, trivets, a jug and a vase, each piece holding the tactility of clay and the immediacy of a painting. Made to be used and lived with, yet striking enough to display, they blur the line between functional object and art.
Converse First String
The Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star returns with a premium update in the First String line. Retaining the silhouette’s timeless simplicity, these reconstructed Chucks introduce a higher foxing tape, a shorter toe cap, and a wider footbed for improved fit. Available in three new designs in Men's and Women's, First String is limited to just a handful of select stockists across Europe, including Couverture & The Garbstore.
25 Years of Couverture
Couverture & The Garbstore marks its 25th anniversary with a series of exclusive collaborations. To celebrate the milestone, limited-edition pieces arrive from long-time partners including Renata Brenha, Donna Wilson, Sideline, Laite Works and more. Founded by Emily Dyson-Paley with a vision for thoughtful design and craft, Couverture has grown into the Notting Hill destination for womenswear, jewellery and homeware. This year’s anniversary collections reflect that same spirit - considered, creative, and rooted in community.
