Letter from Farhi HQ H
appy New Year and welcome to the second edition of Sweet Talk. We hope you had a lovely winter break, however you celebrated and that you got to spend sometime with loved ones particularly after what has been an interesting 2020 and 2021. As we enter a new year, we’re super excited about everything that is to come in the next few months. While January offers a slower start to the year, as we hit February, we’re raring to go for a new season and this issue is the perfect guide to see you through. In this new issue of Sweet Talk, we’ve rounded up some of the best sportswear and equipment to help you kick off the new year in style. The first few months of the year are packed with big calendar dates and for us, still part of our really busy season. Christmas may have been, but now attention switches to Valentine’s Day, a date marked around the world as the festival of love. In this issue, we explore how different countries mark the occasion, but also how Valentine’s Day began and why we celebrate with chocolate. But of course it isn’t just chocolate that is gifted on Valentine’s and
we’ve compiled four pages of beautiful, luxury gifting to help you find the perfect present for that special someone. While February is all about love, as we enter March, it’s time to show a different appreciation. The first Friday in March is Employee Appreciation Day and we’ve explored some great ways to say Thank You to hard working employees on page 12. For those who love style, we’ve put together our ultimate fashion week guide. Navigating the four major fashion cities, we tell you where’s best to Stay, Dine and Visit on your global fashion journey and of course the looks you need to be seen in. Part of Sweet Talk’s job is to help you get more from your Farhi purchases and this issue we have two utterly delicious and easy recipes for you that incorporate both sweet and savoury ranges from within Rita Farhi. We show you how to add some serious crunch and spice to a basic, tasty, slaw and how to make your sticky toffee pudding stand out from the crowd. Issue 2 of Sweet Talk also continues to unfold our sustainability journey and this time round we’re discussing packaging and its impact on the environment, and how
plastic isn’t always what it seems. Taking a holisitc approach, we look at what we’re doing and where we hope to get to. Finally, while they might not be in sesaon in the UK for a few more months, the 27th of February is National Strawberry Day. Never one to miss an opportunity, we’re taking a deep dive into our juicy and delicious Pate de Fruit gift box selection set that has strawberry as one of its key ingredients. This delightful gift set is packed full of gorgeous jewels, ready to enhance any celebration. Needless to say, this issue is utterly jam packed and we hope you enjoy it. If you haven’t followed us on social media, make sure to find us @RitaFarhiUK across all major platforms. Until then, have a very good start to the new year and enjoy all the wonderful festivities that are happening over the coming weeks.
