The Nettle: a living plant of Auvergne winters
Energizing, protective, deeply herbalist

An ancient and mineral-rich plant, the nettle (Urtica) belongs to those so-called "simple" plants that are being rediscovered with a fresh perspective. In the Auvergne region, it accompanies the cold seasons: it stimulates circulation, invigorates tissues, and brings strength and inner warmth. In some traditions, a bunch of nettles was thrown into the fire on December nights to protect the home and ensure a bright winter.

With this collection, Apoticari puts nettle back at the center: a strong, rooted, living plant that inspires a simple and deeply herbalist care gesture.
Apoticari x Marie-Victoire de Bascher
A leaf, an eye, a protective gesture.

To embody the power of the nettle, Apoticari invited artist Marie-Victoire de Bascher, whose work blends drawing, craftsmanship, and symbolism. She conceived an exclusive motif: a stylized, vibrant nettle leaf, inhabited by a protective eye. A botanical ex-voto, designed as a talisman for winter. Her drawing captures the leaf's tension, its nervous texture, and its protective strength.
