Pinkoco. Natural cosmetic shop and accessories at Salesas.

I remember the first time I looked at the shop window of Pinkoco. I was walking with a friend who told me: ” Look that cool bag, the palm trees one.” I don’t like bags very much 😉 but then I made a mental note (and another one on the iPhone) because few days after […]
