Which brand would you rather spend a year with?

A. Zvezda Works Zvezda means star. It’s an invented maker of heavy-duty tools and field systems for people who weld, rig, haul and repair. Space-race poster ink, constructivist diagonals, riveted steel, two plates that never quite line up. Loud on headlines, quiet everywhere else.

B. Herbarium Hours Plant-based skin and body care that treats every ingredient like a specimen. Pressed leaves, field notes, hand-labelled bottles, zero rush.

One feels like a poster pulled fresh off a press. The other feels like a page from a naturalist’s notebook.
