SCOTLAND\u2019S CONTEMPORARY SPIRIT ENCAPSULATED IN BOTTLE AND TARTAN
\nCaorunn Collaborate With Scottish Designer To Champion Craftsmanship<\/h3>\n

The premium Scottish gin Caorunn (pronounced \u201cka-roon\u201d) is proud to announce a collaboration with multiple award-winning creator of cutting-edge kilts, Siobhan Mackenzie. Siobhan has created a bespoke kilt, the iconic handcrafted Scottish garment, celebrating Caorunn\u2019s contemporary tartan which is officially registered by The Scottish Tartan Authority.
\nThe collaboration will champion Scottish craftsmanship in which designer Siobhan Mackenzie has taken inspiration from the Scottish handcrafted gin Caorunn to create a bespoke kilt.
\nWhile the traditional kilt dates to the 1720s, Mackenzie\u2019s extremely eye-catching, contemporary stance, sees her contrast multiple fabrics and colours, leading to unexpected style features. Chiming with her ethos, Mackenzie describes Caorunn as a particularly current brand underpinned by a strong sense of Scottish craft.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nSiobhan Mackenzie says: \u2018I was filled with inspiration on how to take the Caorunn tartan forward in a way which emulates the beauty aesthetic form of the Caorunn bottle. Master Distiller, Simon Buley\u2019s attention to detail, his commitment to using the highest quality ingredients and the exquisite level of craftsmanship is what makes Caorunn.\u2019
\nProudly small batch, handcrafted premium gin distilled in the heart of the Scottish Highlands harnessing pure, natural Scottish water, and is infused with five locally foraged botanicals, being: dandelion, heather, coul bush apple, bog myrtle and rowan berries working in harmony with six traditional gin botanicals.
\nCaorunn is created personally, in a unique way by Gin Master, Simon Buley. Simon forages local Celtic botanicals on the hills around Balmenach Distillery and expertly oversees the infusion of Caorunn in the world\u2019s only working Copper Berry Chamber. The slow infusion of this chamber sets Caorunn apart.
\nSimon Buley, Caorunn master distiller, says; \u201cThe terroir, the process and the people ensure passion, innovation and tradition are poured into every bottle of Caorunn Gin. We are proud others are able to take inspiration in what we do. I strongly believe in championing Scottish craftsmanship and Siobhan is the perfect example of what makes it so special.\u201d
\nThe unisex Caorunn kilt is formed of a staple black skirt replete with a swoosh of grey Caorunn tartan running through back pleats, finished with a touch of tartan on the waistband and fringe. \u2018It can be taken from day to night in a heartbeat,\u2019 says Mackenzie. \u2018The daytime look may be teamed with a cashmere sweater, long riding boots and tights; for the evening, it can be paired with black heels and blouse.\u2019 The menswear kilt, meanwhile, may be worn formally with black or grey Argyll kilt jacket
\nand waistcoat, with black kilt socks and shoes, or casually with boots and a polo shirt or sweater.

THE MILLENNIAL MUST-HAVE: THE BRITISH ORGANIC CARROT<\/h3>\n

The British organic carrot has been named as the millennial\u2019s must-have.<\/h3>\n

www.carrotmuseum.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

TWITTER<\/a><\/p>\n

The organic market is booming, with sales topping \u00a32.2bn in its sixth consecutive year of growth, according to Soil Association\u2019s recently launched 2018 Organic Market Report.<\/p>\n

Fresh Produce (fruit, vegetables & salads) is leading the way, holding a 24% share of the organic food and drink market and showing a year-on-year growth up 6.5%.<\/p>\n

Indeed, 15.3% of all carrots sold by value in UK food and drink retailers (supermarkets) in 2017 were organic. The shoppers under 35, who had spent upwards of \u00a33.1m on organic carrots to week ending 4th November (loyalty growth in 2017 up 3.6%).<\/p>\n

The findings bring to the boil the long-simmering discussion over whether the younger generation are as passionate about traditional British organic produce as they are about exotic alternatives, which soared in popularity throughout 2017.<\/p>\n

Clare McDermott, Business Development Director from Soil Association Certification, the UK\u2019s largest certifier of organic food comments:<\/p>\n

\u201cLast year, millennials spent a higher proportion of their shop on organically grown carrots. The price gap between organic and conventional has widened slightly as the market for conventionally grown carrots has become more competitive. We can see loyalty to organic has decreased slightly overall, which is what we might expect, but millennial shoppers have gone against this expectation which shows they have a good value perception of organic carrots.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Even with non-organic carrots getting cheaper in store, an ever-increasing number of millennial shoppers are showing that they are prepared to pay more as they recognise the value and importance of making an organic choice when it comes to their favourite veg.<\/p>\n

Every time we choose organic we are choosing food as it should be. Choosing organic means that you are supporting farming practices with a more traceable production process and you\u2019ll always know what\u2019s in your food as well as moving the UK towards a more sustainable food system which is great for ourselves and the land.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mark Cheadle from R.B. Organic, believes there are several reasons why the organic carrot is becoming the must-have millennial vegetable:<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are three key reasons organic carrots are having a moment. Buying homegrown vegetables, grown the traditional way, is important, so too is social credibility, with the under 35s wanting to do good by buying organic and \u2018peacocking\u2019 where the buyer wants to share their knowledge so they can tell their friends and work colleagues.<\/p>\n

This organic Millennial shopper has inherited knowledge about what vegetables are meant to be like and have a passion to publicise their decisions to buy organic. Organic is seen by them as nature\u2019s best of the best.\u201d<\/p>\n

Soil Association have been celebrating the popularity of organic fresh produce by launching the Organic Food Finder \u2013 an online tool to help people find their local supplier of fresh, Soil Association-certified organic fresh produce, be that via a box scheme, a local farmers\u2019 market or direct from the farm gate. In addition they have curated a selection of wonderful carrot recipes including Carrot, Chickpea & Kefir Salad, Roast Carrots with Honey & Fennel and Carrot Top Salsa Verde.<\/p>\n

Six things you didn\u2019t know about carrots:<\/p>\n

The notion that eating carrots helps you see at night is a myth first circulated during World War II to explain why RAF fighter pilots had more success on night time battles, in order to disguise advances in radar technology
\nCarrots come in many colours, from purple to yellow, but the orange carrot is believed to have come to popularity in the Netherlands during the 17th Century, when Dutch growers cultivated them as a tribute to William of Orange
\nResearch conducted by the University of Newcastle showed that there are up to 69% more antioxidants in organically grown crops when compared to crops grown using non-organic methods
\nOrganic carrots that have the Soil Association organic symbol, have been produced to the highest standards; with fewer pesticides, no artificial additives or preservatives, and are grown in a more sustainably managed way meaning more wildlife
\nOrganic carrots are easily accessible and can be picked up from supermarkets, online, from independent shops and farmer\u2019s markets across the country
\nThere is a virtual World Carrot Museum! www.carrotmuseum.co.uk
\nIf everyone who currently buys carrots switched to organic, there would be 50% more wildlife and 30% more species of wildlife on the farms used to produce the carrots \u2013 that’s more birds, bees, butterflies, beetles, bats and wildflowers

FRANGIPANI ANNOUNCES ITS EXCLUSIVE COLLABORATION WITH THE BLUE MARINE FOUNDATION TO CREATE AWARENESS OF WORLD OCEANS DAY\u00a0www.frangipani-style.com<\/a><\/h3>\n

FACEBOOK<\/a> | TWITTER<\/a> | INSTAGRAM<\/a><\/p>\n

Frangipani shirts (www.frangipani-style.com<\/a>) are delighted to announce their exclusive collaboration with The Blue Marine Foundation. To create awareness of World Oceans Day on the 8th<\/sup> June, Frangipani has teamed up with The Blue Marine Foundation and has created a limited edition shirt.\u00a0 With 25% of the sales of every Blue Marine shirt going directly to the charity, Frangipani is not only on a mission to redefine the \u201cbeach to bar\u201d shirt, but to also create awareness of the protection of the oceans and the overall marine ecosystem and environment. The limited edition Frangipani shirt is called The Big Blue and can be bought online at www.frangipani-style.com<\/a> .<\/p>\n

Frangipani was established by husband & wife team, Ben and Clem Wilmot in 2010. They decided to produce an annual range of 12 men\u2019s beach to bar shirts. This is their 4th<\/sup> year of collaboration with Blue Marine Foundation and their commitment to protecting the oceans has led Frangipani to be worn by the Blue Safari Seychelles team (www.bluesafari.com<\/a>) when they launched their exciting new concept to the world at the renowned travel shown, We Are Africa that took place in Cape Town, South Africa in May.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to be working together with Frangipani.\u00a0 This is our 4th<\/sup> year in working with the brand to create a stylish men\u2019s shirt that raises much needed funds to help us create awareness of the necessary steps we need to implement to protect our fragile, aquatic ecosystems.\u201d Comments Sara-Jane Skinner \u00a0at The Blue Marine Foundation.<\/p>\n

\u201cBlue Safari Seychelles is an exciting new concept that enables those who seek adventure to travel to some of the most remote outer islands and atolls in the Seychelles, whilst protecting and preserving the environment and ecosystems. We chose Frangipani as the brand to launch Blue Safari Seychelles, to the world at We Are Africa, due to their involvement with The Blue Marine Foundation.\u201d Enthuses Keith Rose-Innes, Managing Director at Blue Safari Seychelles.<\/p>\n

Frangipani shirts are made from a rare, delicate but strong Indian cotton which took Ben and Clem three years to source and this cotton is exclusive to Frangipani. The shirts are fitted on the sides but loose around the tummy meaning men can have those beers whilst sailing across the oceans without a care in the world!<\/p>\n

With a VIP following including: HRH Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, rocker and member of the Rolling Stones Ronnie Wood, British actor Rhys Ifans, famed designer Stefano Gabbana, footballer and sports presenter Ian Wright, as well as DJ\u2019s across the world, it is clear that Frangipani appeals to all and resulted in Vogue labelling them as \u2018a name to know in the world of men\u2019s shirting\u2019.<\/p>\n
