CANDY WITH HOLES: THIS IS HOW THE TREAT THAT BECAME FAMOUS A FEW DECADES AGO THANKS TO
THEIR INTENSE FRUITY FLAVOUR AND THEIR DISTINCT ARRANGEMENT WERE PRESENTED. AT FIRST GLAN-
CE, IT IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND WHY CHIMOS TAKES ITS NAME FROM THESE SWEETS THAT WERE SO POPU-
LAR IN SPAIN IN THE 1980S - ALSO KNOWN AS ‘LIFE SAVERS’ IN AMERICA.
DIVERTIDA, DULCE Y CON UN PUNTO NOSTÁLGICO. CARAMELOS CON AGUJERO: ASÍ SE PRESENTABAN LOS DULCES QUE HACE
UNAS DÉCADAS SE HICIERON FAMOSOS GRACIAS A SU INTENSO SABOR AFRUTADO Y A SU PECULIAR FORMATO. CON SOLO
ECHARLE UN VISTAZO ES FÁCIL ENTENDER POR QUÉ CHIMOS TOMA SU NOMBRE DE ESTOS CARAMELOS TAN POPULARES EN
ESPAÑA EN LOS OCHENTA —CONOCIDOS COMO LIFE SAVERS EN AMÉRICA—.
FUN, SWEET AND WITH A TOUCH OF NOSTALGIA

LORFUL, AND PLAYFUL, CRAFTED USING HAND-TUFTING AND CARVING TECHNIQUES WITH WOOL.

CA DE SU COLOR PRINCIPAL Y SOBRE UN FONDO EN CONTRASTE. SUAVE, COLORISTA Y LÚDICA, ELABORADAS MEDIANTE LAS
TÉCNICAS DEL HAND-TUFTING Y EL CARVING EN LANA.
