This episode of Confect Corner will aid and inspire your festive retail forays this month, whether that's the fine porcelains of Sydney based brand Mud Australia or a new album by Peruvian German artist Sofia Cortesis.
We'll check in with online retail giant Materza to find out what makes customers tick at this time of year and how e commerce can evoke emotion.
And we'll delve into the history of the most festive evergreen mistletoe to find out about its druidic past and the romantic mystique around it.
I'm your host, Sophie Grove, and this is Confect Corner.
We are selling luxury.
Luxury is a dream.
It's something you reward yourself.
It's something you give to others.
It's not something that you need necessarily.
When I found finally my voice five years ago, this place really grounded me to be able to write the melodies and to be in a completely other world where I can like.
It's like the door of like Peru and Germany.
You'll see mistletoe growing on apple, poplar and hawthorn trees all year, but somehow it's only at Christmas that we really notice it.
Festooning sprigs around their house with their translucent white berries, at once beautiful but also toxic.
Welcome to this episode of Confect Corner.
I'm your host, Sophie Grove in London.
As usual, I'm joined by Marcella Palak in Zurich and by Julian de Vias here in the studio with me.
Hello to you both.
Greetings, Sophie and Marcella.
Hello, Gillian.
