Touched by Fire Italian scarves: 20% discount for Dante members

Touched by Fire is a small company based in Christchurch (New Zealand) by Enrica and Simon Ogden. They say:

"Our ambition is to ignite a passion for exquisite forms, fabrics, textures and colours. Our designs come to life from the experience of a place, a mood or a moment. Some begin as an art work, some from the manipulation of patterns on found objects or images. Each has a unique story to tell while breathing away its own beauty and ephemerality.

All our scarves are conceptualised and designed by Simon Ogden in New Zealand. Once the designs are ready, they are sent to Italy. In Lake Como natural fibres are blended and woven into fabrics that hang softly and best react to natural dyes, bringing the nuances of colour and the details of the design to life. At this point, the printed material travels to Bologna. In Bologna a team of committed artisans cuts, washes and finishes each of our scarves by hand before they journey back to New Zealand

We are happy to offer 20% off on our new range to all the members of the Dante Alighieri as a thank for the love and support shown to us over the last three years. Our scarves can be purchased on line (wearetouchedbyfire.com) and the discount is applied when entering the promocode: CELEBRATE at checkout. Gift vouchers can be purchased online as well and start from $100. They never expires just like our scarves!"

Lisa is the owner of this little gem where you can always have a good coffee, delicious homemade food and fantastic smoothies.

Our favorites are the chili fried eggs and ricotta toast (with a zing of lemon), simple and delicious, and the green smoothie with almond milk and lots of good and healthy green stuff (no sugar)!

Here is a short chat with Lisa:

Ciao Lisa, where are you from originally? Born in Auckland, my parents were from Genova and Calabria and family in Bologna.

What is your Italian most distinctive trait? Passion for food and people! The Italian fire and I am loud.

What do you like the most about Italy? The food! That the most humble and simple of dishes can be so filled with flavour and love.

When I say pasta what is the first think that comes in your mind? Pasta Napolitana covered in parmesan cheese… my happy place.

What GRATO means in Italian? GRATO is Italian for Grateful or thankful. Because there is always something to be grateful for.

Pop in, say Ciao, order your coffee in Italian and enjoy a 10% of discount!
