Does anyone know of a brand of laundry detergent/fabric softener which has a natural smell? I like the smell of newly washed clothes and bed linen, but I'm not a big fan of the synthetic mall brands...

Aesop is pretty amazing for hand washing delicate fabrics.

Does anyone know some pants or jeans that go well with Ann D scamosciato?

Looks really nice, but I'm looking for something that works for everyday use. It'll end up quite expensive if I washed everything with that. And I don't know how well it'd work with machine washes.

Have you looked into those detergents that don’t contain perfume at all?
Seeing your located in Denmark, I remember you could pick up these odorless detergents in Stockholm in almost every supermarket.

But I like that it smells. I'd just wouldn't mind paying for a quality smell.

This is a great option if you don’t mind the price.
You don’t need any softener with this, so it’s not THAT expensive.

this is the best detergent i've found:

Yeah, that was recommended earlier, I'll probably give it a try then.

Yeah, you can get some pretty good hypo allergic fragrance free laundry detergents in pretty much all Danish supermarkets, which is what I'm usually buying. I like my clothes and bed linen to smell nice out of the machine though, but I'm not too keen on the synthetic fragrances you usually end up with. I wonder what will happen if I pour some room spray in the end-cycle fabric softener compartment of the washing machine...

check if you can find something that is advertised having less chemicals, organic, more or less natural etc etc, but not completely fragnance free. These tend to have a bit less fragnance than the generic big name detergants.

My wife uses Ecover for everything, it's intended for delicates or wool, but can be used for anything. It's almost completely fragnance free though.

the vaska is only fragrance free in that no fragrance is added. it has a nice, light lavender scent naturally from the oils used in it.

moving my question from the retailers thread.... :

are there any french members / people living in France that have ordered from INK in HK? did you guys have to pay taxes upon reception?

I might order something but I'd like to know if I have to plan in advance that I'm gonna get hit by customs... thanks for any feedback!

Do all M.A+ leather items--including wallets and belts--have the silver cross staples?

[curiouscharles]

no not all of them - my wallet, for example, doesn't have any cross insignia [though it is older, so maybe this has changed].

[augustinn]

^^ thanks

I have an older belt that doesn't have one--it is definitely authentic.

I wondered if there were fake wallets being done though.

i wouldn't know, but it also wouldn't surprise me.

plenty of people / friends out there have made their own origami wallets / m.a+ inspired wallets - so i don't think they'd be the hardest thing to fake.
