THE CARIBBEAN IS CALLING
Is it ironic that Winter and Carnival seem to go hand-in-hand? Or is it just mother nature’s way of giving us the option to explore vast and different worlds?
The 2017 Collection is seductively sophisticated, with tulle providing a body-shaping allure, that is the epitome of eye catching this Carnival Season. The mood ranges from timeless to dangerous.
As the wintery chill makes its appearance in January and February, sunny days and cool, comfortable nights flood in the Caribbean basin, spurring a desire for new resort wardrobe and Carnival in Trinidad.
You will find stunning pieces to wet your palette and mix-and-match easy-breezy dresses with capes that translate to everyday use after carnival.
Without a doubt, the big trend is exuberant color – The brighter the better. Strong reds, electric blues and vibrant yellow, lead the charge.
All-in-all 2017 has a lot going on. However the best part of the K2K brand, is its 365-day Concept, which means these wardrobe pieces can be used and re-used after Carnival.
There is much to be excited about this Carnival Season: the refined beading; the peek-a-boo of tulle; the undulating movement of chiffon. As we take a view from “The Helm”, we will fall in love with resort wear.

“My Carnival Monday wear is laundered and ready to wear sometime in the future with fancy accessories. My Carnival Tuesday costume is still at the cleaners. They said it was so exquisite it would take some time to handwash the various layers and intricate beadwork. That's what I love about the Band K2K. In the blink of an eye, you could go from the road to the runway to the red carpet in your costume. Carnival economics. Playing mas is about dollars and sense! Why spend money on something you have to throw away after two days?” Renee Cummings, Principal Consultant at Criminal Justice Intelligence Inc. Source: FB March 8, 2017

MESSAGE FROM CHER-MÈRE’S FOUNDER
THE LEGACY
BUSINESS EXCELLENCE
Cher-Mère herbal products are natural, herbal and eco- friendly. Cher-Mère brand supports over forty products for skin, hair, body and seeks to guarantee a wonderful product experience for everyone.

C H E R- M E R E BEAUTY STARTS HERE
PA S S I N G O N T H E L E G A C Y
CHER-MÈRE
In the Beginning: Cheryl Bowles, Biochemist, Founder and Managing Director, gave up her top executive job at Nestlé, the world’s largest food company. She was the company’s first woman Executive, Chief Chemist, Head of Quality Control, and Head of Research and Development. In addition, Ms. Bowles, co-founded and presided over Nestlé’s Credit Union, and served as Head of Safety and Development , Nestlé, Trinidad and Tobago. Cheryl Bowles gave up a fantastic salary and opportunities to travel all over the world to pursue the development of the brand that would become Cher-Mère. The name Cher-Mère, meaning “Dear Mother” in French was derived from the unity of the first part of Cheryl’s name and part of Merle, her mother’s (deceased) name. The Journey: Cheryl Bowles trusted her instincts, having no previous experience working with herbs, aromatherapy or cosmetics, and decided to chart a new course through an unknown terrain. Determined to make it on her own, she declined Nestlé’s offers to retain her. With vivid memories of her grandmother using the peeled skin of the cucumber on her face for improved complexion; and fresh aloe and the white of an egg to make a facial mask, Ms. Bowles was armed with firsthand knowledge of the Caribbean’s possession of some of nature’s best herbs and botanica for the appearance of youthful, healthy and vivacious looking skin. It is from this arsenal of knowledge and technical expertise that Cher-Mère’s natural product blends have been formed. Cheryl Bowles’s mother Merle Bowles, deceased, was an inspiration to her and suggested the creation of a hair food for Caribbean people. Merle Bowles, an esthetician and hair dresser, used the herbal hair food on her clients. It was well received, and the Hair Food was the first of 30 products currently on the market. Subsequently, the name Cher-Mère was born. “Cher-Mère” is a registered trademark in parts of the Caribbean, USA, UK, and Canada.
The Herbarium Ltd. (THL), the parent company of Cher-Mère, commenced business in one store in the basement of Roundabout Plaza, Barataria, selling its own locally formulated teas and herbs. One of the company’s first employees was Veronica Lewis, who journeyed with Cheryl Bowles as a sales assistant at Roundabout Plaza. Ms. Lewis, now the longest serving employee, now serves as Production Supervisor at The Herbarium Ltd. The Herbarium Ltd., with its extensive product line of 30 products, operates four day spas and a kiosk in Trinidad and one day spa in Barbados. The Cher-Mère Brand is also distributed in Guadeloupe, New York and London. The future: Aba Bowles-Mortley, Cheryl’s daughter, has always been an active part of the company and now continues on the legacy in the position of Assistant General Manager/International Marketing. As a small child, no older than 5 years old, Aba would often accompany her mother to trade shows, explaining to potential clients the benefits of local herbs used in the teas that were sold. As Aba grew older, she has covered every facet of the company from production to distribution, even working as an esthetician in the Day Spas, and has been given the name “the little boss” from inception. Now with a PhD in Materials and Chemical Engineering, Dr. Mortley continues to forge ahead and build on the brand that is Cher-Mère.
