Ilex verticillata
Studded with beautiful bright green berries, Green Ilex is a hardy species of Japanese Holly. Created on a wild and natural handwoven base of dried grapevine, the berries are handcrafted with eco-safe paper maché, not toxic styrofoam, and the stems are made from Recycled Polyethylene (rPE).
Everlasting faux is made to enjoy for many holidays to come. Intended for use indoors or on a covered porch away from rain or snow.
These are assembled by hand from ethical producers in China. Learn more about how our EcoFaux™ botanicals help break free of the Petro-chemical cycle in our Journal article here.
Co-founders Michael Zung and Alex Bates:
Michael Zung is an entrepreneur with a passion for healthy living and healthy start-ups. He also has a passion for introducing artisan-crafted goods to a wider audience and for living with nature indoors. His motto? “More nature the better”.
Alex Bates is a design maven and obsessive gardener with a lifetime’s experience developing hand-crafted goods and brands that do good. She’s also a serial collaborator who brings people from all walks of the design and artisan worlds together.
Mike and Alex were introduced by a mutual friend and quickly realized they shared not just a love of nature but also a vision for a new kind of company. One that designed and curated the beautiful, meaningful, purposeful things you need to make a natural home.
Mike and Alex put on their thinking/designing/gardening caps and named the new company “Bloomist”, a nod to their commitment to helping artists, artisans, and makers flourish.
