Tous Notes

Hey beauty lovers,

This is the story of another luxury powerhouse; this time it is a Spanish one and its main symbol is a teddy bear.

I must confess that I always considered teddy bears in luxury a little bit like a peterpan complex on adult women, however, it comes to mind the likes of Moschino or Pandora, which also have a teddy bear in their ADN. But here we are, and I recently got my hands on the new Tous - LoveMe Onyx Parfum and I simply adore it: and there is also that coveted coat Teddy from Max Mara (that is also on my wishlist!).

- Insert history lesson -

Tous is a Spanish jewelry company founded in 1920 by Salvador Tous Blavi and his wife Teresa Ponsa Mas. It started as a watch repair workshop and gradually transitioned to jewelry. But it was his son's wife Rosa Oriol who developed in 1985 the iconic and company signature bear, which was inspired by a teddy bear she saw on her travels and sought to recapture in gold. The Tous bear became a success and is now always present in their collections in some form. Tous remains a 3rd generation family-run business, in the hands of the daughters of Salvador and Rosa - Rosa, Alba, Laura and Marta, and has expanded to baby gear, handbags and small accessories.

As you read about their heritage you come to realize this is a company born out of work, in fact one of their strongest values is exactly teamwork and another lovely thing is to read how this company is committed to a strong female presence in its operation: an astonishing 89% of the company staff are women.

How can you not admire the teddy bear company?
