About the brand:

Founded by designer Thomas Fernez, Siren Song is a collection of art objects that aims to draw one in. Inspiration came from Dutch still life paintings called "vanitas" as well as 16th century cabinets of curiosities intended to showcase collections of rare treasures and precious personal effects.

What we love:

• A unique balance of aesthetics and function - water buffalo horn has been traditionally preferred for making combs due to its natural keratin content - exceptional for hair conditioning, nourishing, and detangling.

About the brand:

KOH-I-NOOR is a heritage brand where old world luxury and Italian craftsmanship come together. Formally established in Slovakia in the 1830s, then Italy in 1943, KOH-I-NOOR offers personal grooming tools such as brushes, combs, and mirrors that are a testament to European artisanal excellence.

What we love:

• A brand with a legendary history - the name "Koh-I-Noor," translating to "Mountain of Light" in Persian, comes from a world-famous diamond that is one of the largest in the world at 105.6 carats.
• Luxury with intention - specifically chosen materials like boar bristles condition hair by redistributing natural oils from the scalp, and gold-plated pins detangle thicker hair effortlessly without creating any static electricity.
