APTK nasceu para o mundo, para estar conectado com pessoas, com o artesanal através de uma entrega de bebidas de qualidade. Nossa história começa com a fundação da Apothek Cocktails & Co. em 2016. Uma empresa paulistana, a Apothek tornou-se referência em alta coquetelaria e pioneira no mercado de coquetéis engarrafados. Fundada com a assinatura de Alexandre D’Agostino, a empresa lançou sua primeira linha de coquetéis engarrafados para venda online. Em 2017 fundaram o Apothek Bar, na região de Pinheiros, em São Paulo, premiado melhor bar de São Paulo pela revista VEJA COMER & BEBER 2019 – edição em que o sócio-fundador e bartender Alexandre D’Agostino também foi premiado melhor Bartender do ano. Em 2020, essas verticais tornaram-se independentes e a Apothek Cocktails assume operações de bar e eventos. Feito por humanos inquietos.

Created by Michelle Lima and Paula Proushan, Blue Bird add a stylish touch - the Brazilian je ne sais quoi - to any feet waiting to be adorned. The label was born out of a desire to create a flawless and democratic shoe. Both founders had plenty fashion and footwear in their DNA: Michelle had worked in the shoe industry in Brazil and abroad since she was 17, under renowned brands like Alexandre Birman and Forum, while Paula had made a career in the international fashion industry, working for the likes of Vera Wang. When they were introduced to each other, they decided it was time they created their own venture together. Joining their impeccable taste to years of expertise, Michelle and Paula betted on the loafer - a classic shoe that is comfortable, elegant and shows "just the right amount of feet"​. Needless to say, Blue Bird loafers are a specie of their own. Michelle and Paula spent one year developing them, thinking of every imaginable detail. Every shoe is made through an artisanal process inspired by traditional Italian shoemaking, which involves a total of 32 craftsmen. They spend a full day being molded, which ensures that they conform to any feet. The inside of the shoe is entirely lined with fine leather. For the insole, the founders wanted to develop something unique and extremely comfortable – as comfortable as the bed they sleep on every night, literally! That is why she developed a partnership with a German mattress company to create a special, thicker-than-usual insole made with the same technology as its mattresses. This is why laying your feet onto a BB shoe is such a soothing experience. These are details that the eye cannot see, but that the feet can certainly feel - and be thankful for. And, if what you find inside a Blue Bird is incredible, what you see on the outside is even more! The shoes of each collection are original and tell their own story, which incorporates a mix of the designers​ enchantment with Brazil and their global outlook.

blk. is an ALL NATURAL functional beverage, which only uses organic ingredients and helps support a healthy lifestyle. It is a plant-based water, infused with fulvic trace minerals – a super nutrient and one of the most powerful polyphenols known.  Fulvic has been used for thousands of years as a foundational ingredient in Ayurvedic medicine. This has prompted hundreds of accredited scientific and medical organizations to make the fulvic molecule the subject of rigorous independent studies. These studies have reported broad beneficial results relating to improved health and disease prevention – including supporting gut health, reducing inflammation and detoxification.  Fulvic minerals also have been shown to support healthy hair, skin, and nails, and help fight against fatigue. blk. water is black in color due to nutrient-rich minerals, which are naturally dark. Made with all-natural plant-based ingredients, blk. has zero carbs, zero sugar and zero calories. blk. is gluten-free, kosher, and vegan, making it the perfect go-to wellness beverage that tastes refreshing and clean. blk. water helps replenish your body for optimal health! For more information visit, getblk.com
