Blantyre Storage Jars
Find out how you can use these jars in 9 different ways here
We have partnered with a wonderful organisation in Malawi that nurtures local artisanal talent to produce an array of eye-catching and unique designs. Resourceful with local materials, the artisans have made these statement storage jars. They collect empty wine bottles from local restaurants, cut them to size and hand carve exquisite mahogany wood lids to fit, each with a unique design and wood grain.
Ideal in the kitchen or bathroom, or just as display pieces, these bottles are a great and fun addition to any room.
The organisation supports artisans to build sustainable businesses lending interest free loans to enable them to invest in equipment & materials to grow their enterprises. This ensures age-old techniques survive for future generations.
