Featured in the recent issue of Saveur magazine, Möpure mountain maple products from Québec, Canada are available for shipping.

Maple farmers have long recognized that mountain maple trees offer a better tasting maple. In these higher elevations the winter snow blankets the tree for a longer time, extending the critical cycle of nightly freezing and daily thawing to release the maple sap. This allows for a longer and greater flow of maple sap and release of it's natural nutrients.

Select Extra Light, Light or Medium Maple Syrup, Maple Butter or Maple Jelly for a range of culinary uses. Add a dash of pure Maple Sugar to coffee or tea for a decadent alternative. Satisfy that sweet-tooth while on the go with Maple Candies - a true delight!

For a true Canadian experience, serve your Möpure Mountain Maple Syrup in the artisan-crafted Atelier Orange Maple Syrup bottle - complete with the maple leaf emblem on the front of the carafe.

Call the shop (403.939.4042) or send us an email (info@rarified.ca) to place your order.

Pashley Cycles is England's longest established bicycle manufacturer, and has carried on the tradition of the classic English roaster bicycle since they opened their doors in 1926.   Beyond the roadster bikes, Pashley also designs and builds more contemporary city bike styles and some seriously stylish cruisers.

Based in Stratford-upon-Avon, Pashley's dedicated teams of designers and craftspeople hand build the bikes combining the knowledge that comes from more than 80 years of experience in bicycle building with the use of modern materials, components and technology.

The Pashley's are definitely pretty bikes, but they are serious transportation meant for hauling stuff around and getting to where you need to be, whether it's the office or the park for a picnic.

If there is one thing the Dutch are known for it's practical and stylish bicycle gear. At Rarified we are very pleased to be offering products from three great Dutch companies - Batavus bikes, Basil baskets and bags and the Bobike child seats.

The BoBike children's bike seats are beautifully designed with innovative mounting systems, comfortable three-point belts, sturups to keep little feet safely out of the way, and a good sitting position from where children can see around them and enjoy the ride.

Danish furniture designed is renowned for it's careful merging of form and function, and no less attention is paid to furnishings for the little ones.  The HandySitt booster seat is an excellent example of this design philosophy.  The seat is designed to attach securely to a dining chair allowing a child to sit comfortably with the rest of the family at meal time.  The simple adjustable mounting system allows for quick mounting of the seat, and the foldable design makes the HandySitt practical to take along when traveling.
