Chocolates taste good undoubtedly, but are gone in a flash. Roses look good and may last… a week?  Why not buy your beloved something that will last a lifetime?  Give her a piece of the finest cashmere for her to love forever (and hopefully she will feel the same way about you!)

At CocoonU we offer the perfect Valentines gift for all budgets and all ethically sourced

For a smaller gift, our gorgeous organic loofah soaps offer a bathtime pampering gift or from our jewellery collection, one of our stylish horn bangles – contemporary and individual.

For sheer luxury, why not buy her one of our exquisite and chic 100% cashmere lace shawls or fine wraps? Luxurious and timeless, they are designed in a range of patterns and gorgeous colours, offering unsurpassed beauty, warmth and quality.  They are also incredibly lightweight and perfect for travel.

And what about something you can both share?  Bring the ultimate indulgence  and style to your home with one of our beautiful cable knit throws and buy something which will wrap you both in sublime warmth and softness.

We haven’t forgotten that the boys like to receive a gift on Valentines Day too.  We have polled some of our northern fellas up here to find out what they might like.  You will be pleased to hear that when instructed to look round the shop, our dark grey cashmere socks were top favourite together with (or) gorgeous indian sandalwood soap.  Both a touch of luxury, not something you would buy everyday and will not break the bank.

Come and see us at 5 Montpellier Mews, Harrogate, HG1 2TQ or order online at www.cocoonu.com

To make you smile as the year draws to a close, let me introduce you to Jake, shown above with CocoonU’s MD,Vanessa Streeton.  The most human of Parsons Terriers and with the ability to identity his favourite cashmere pieces with a hard stare and wag of tail, he guards Vanessa fiercely, but once given the seal of  approval will provide you with hours of entertainment.  Jake is frequently in attendance at Company meetings and woe betide you if you leave your office space for too long… on return, you may find a paw on your laptop and a pair of large brown eyes beseeching you to let him sit behind you and observe the process of beautiful, ethical cashmere being brought to the retail marketplace.

CocoonU is a company of great character, creativity, fun and determination – born out of passion for retailing products of sheer beauty and outstanding quality and centred on principles of sourcing  ethically, allowing customers to shop with a clear conscience and enjoy their purchases for a lifetime.

This has been a year of great progress and Vanessa turning 40 in the early stages of developing a new business is inspiring some of you sat in long term, soul crushing occupations to know that there are infinite possibilities for all ages, in all market conditions, to make a go of something you feel passionately about.  We know this from the response following  the feature on Vanessa and CocoonU in the November issue of Woman & Home.  Finishing the year by opening  a luxury boutique after long months of recession, is pretty amazing.

It is good to look forward to a new year that holds lots of exciting possibilities.  It will be the third year of trading for CocoonU. We hope the shop will continue to go from strength to strength and will be actively searching for re-sellers across the UK (and worldwide – already available via George Smith internationally).  Please contact us if you think your organisation may be the right one for our collections.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU IN THE NEW YEAR
