It is always interesting to see what Bundleers are buying from the USA. If you have not already, you should check out BundleBox’s recent shipments section of the website. Here you can feel inspired and intrigued by everything from amazing fashion buys, chic and stylish home ware pieces, children’s toys, electrical gadgets and much more.
A lot of Bundleers are fond of top USA websites such as Target, J Crew and Victoria’s Secret. This is great but we love to see something different on the shipment list. This week the Black Phoenix Alchemy Perfume Lab came to our attention.
Utilizing more than 15 experience of years of hand blending potions, theraputic oils and perfumery into tailor made products, this company has a bewitching website with traditional stories and poems accompanying each of their ranges. The companies love of integrating mythology, archetypes, folklore, poetry, and visual artwork with scent makes the shopping experience a magical one.
Interestingly, the Lab created a range of scents inspired by the renowned novel ‘Good Omens’ by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman with both authors offering the project their blessing.
Proceeds of this range went to the support of the Comic Book Legal Defence Fund and the Orangutans UK Foundation. The Black Phoenix Alchemy lab has created such a momentum and online following that a 5ml bottle of limited edition scent sold for $800 on eBay in 2007.
The blends include the essence of magical sounding ingredients such as: milky blossoms, soft cream touch, the last buds of winter, crystalline, hazy traditional Lunar oils, springtime greenery, dark musk, spikenard, bergamot, lemon rind, vervain with costus, benzoin, gray amber, cardamom, and white narcissus.
At BundleBox we love to step away from the norm and discover websites that are full of charm and allure.
Visiting the website for the Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab is like stepping into an old characterful library and blowing the dust off an ancient book of spells. As you weave your way around the website and learn about the different blends and stories you discover which ones are right for you.
We thank Bundleers for highlighting these interesting websites and hope to see even more weird, fun and wonderful USA websites soon.
Happy Bundling.

It is really special to have something that was made for you. The creativity, craftsmanship, time and effort that went into your finished item all make it worth it. Moop Shop is an accessories store in the USA with a difference. Brought to our attention here at BundleBox by a super stylish Bundleer, the company design pieces that are traditional in design using contemporary and durable materials.
What is exciting about Moop is that they make accessories for Men, Women and Children. They design and manufacture from the light and fluid air of their Pittsburgh Studio. The company explain that their belief lies in creations that are ‘Concise, durable and well crafted’ and each piece can take up to two weeks to hand make.
BundleBox HEARTS the Moop blog. Here the handcrafting ‘Moop Makers’ update with their daily musings and design processes in the studio in a light hearted and fun way. Proving that it is an altogether whole-hearted experience where everything is made by people who love what they do.
Without leaving anyone out here, BundleBox has compiled a list of Moop must haves including something for Women, Man and Child.
First up for the ladies, the soft, gorgeous Market Bag ($103) is made for browsing herb and Veg stalls on a Saturday morning. Available in a variety of different colours including brown and organic golden yellow, the roomy accessory has comfortable adjustable straps and is made using organically grown and dyed cotton.
For the stylish and sophisticated Man who wants a bag that is subtly trendy, stylish yet timeless. The Messenger bag in Gun Metal ($131) is perfect for flitting between meetings with your laptop, adhoc road trips and daily shopping. Made from a super durable cordora. It is great that the Moop Makers use images from their studio to advertise the bags in the Moop website. It means that they love the products too!
A Moop bag for Kids is a fantastic way to introduce children to the earthly benefits of sustainable and reusable fabrics. The Moop Book Bag ($89) is perfect for school and its durable canvas means that it can be popped in the washing machine when a little grubby. With a range of colours, our favourite is the bright and fun Provincial Blue coloured Book Bag. The fun d-rings are practical allowing for water bottles and flashlights to be clipped on to the bag.
Happy Bundling,
The BundleBox Team.
