The Aro pieces look like objects rather than accessories, and they are made to be used every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Vallvé story\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVallvé was founded in São Paulo in 1962 by Josep Maria Sedó Vallvé, who came to Brazil from the Priorat region of Catalonia. He built his own machinery and techniques for working resin together with metal, wood and acrylic. Vallvé opened its first showroom, Cristal Banho, in 1978, and in the 1990s his son Pedro Sedó took over and made it the leader in luxury bath accessories in Brazil. Since 2003 it has won the Top of Mind Casa \u0026amp; Mercado award in the bathroom boutique category, and Vallvé says its production is still 100% handmade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWorth the investment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsed every day for five years, $233 comes to about $0.13 a day (our math). You are paying for a hand-finished piece from a company that has worked in resin for more than 60 years, not a molded plastic copy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBuy once: durability and care\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeither Vallvé nor the distributor publishes care instructions. Resin is durable but can scratch, so wipe it with a soft, damp cloth and a little mild soap, then dry it with a microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive pads, bleach, solvents and nail-polish remover, and keep it out of the dishwasher. Dry metal parts after splashes to avoid water spots (our advice).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the Vallvé Aro swabs holder?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eØ 3¼ × H 5⅛ in (Ø 8.3 × H 13 cm).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the Aro swabs holder made of?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eResin with chrome, in Graphite with a polished \/ matte finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDoes the Aro swabs holder have a lid?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
