Sustainable Christmas Decor

We absolutely love working with Beaulieu Candle Company. They’re a brilliant local business, and funnily enough one of our team used to work with the owner – such a small world.

These candles have been a consistent best seller for us over the years, and it’s easy to see why. They’re beautifully made, smell incredible, and the tins can be reused again and again once finished.

Each candle is made using soy wax derived from soybeans, making it a natural, renewable and biodegradable alternative to paraffin. Blended with vegan-friendly fragrances, they offer a clean, even burn with a strong, long-lasting scent throw you can really rely on.

Everything is hand poured in small batches, using 100% recyclable materials and packaging – even the labels are made from repurposed beer waste, which we think is pretty amazing.

We’ve worked with Beaulieu Candle Company for years and they never disappoint. If you love these candles, you’ll be pleased to know we also stock their wax melts and reed diffusers, and you’ll often find them featured in our gift sets, aromatherapy bundles and candle-making kits too.

This set of three tall nesting baskets offers a practical and cost effective way of adding storage and texture to the home.

Each basket is woven by hand from renewable and sustainable jute fibres and has a little fabric ReSpiin label stitched onto the rim. The baskets vary in size and work well for all sorts of storage such as pens, keys, toys or even house plants (just ensure the plant pot itself does not have drainage holes!).

Made responsibly in Bangladesh from natural jute.

Wipe clean. Not suitable for use in very damp environments as the fibres draw moisture from the air.

Approximate sizes:
Large Basket - 13.5cm x 18.5 cm diameter
Medium Basket -11cm x 15 cm diameter
Small Basket - 8.5cm x 11 cm diameter

Due to the hand made nature of this product, sizes and colours may vary slightly.

SUSTAINABLE

Jute plants are easy to grow, have a high yield per acre and, unlike cotton, have little need for pesticides and fertilisers. Jute grows during the rainy season in Bangladesh which is from June to October. The plants are ready to harvest in four to six months, after the flowers are shed.

The fibres lie beneath the bark around the woody core. To extract the fibre, the jute bundles are submersed in water and left for a few days until the fibres come loose and are ready for stripping from the stalk, then washed and dried. This is what the ReSpiin baskets are made from. The remaining jute stalks can be used in a similar way to wood pulp, or work well as a renewable source of cooking fuel.

Jute plants help to clean the air. During growth they take in three times more CO2 than the average tree, converting this CO2 into oxygen. Jute plants also enrich the soil. As these plants grow fast, they are often used in crop rotation. The leaves and roots left after harvest enrich the soil with micronutrients, maintaining soil fertility. Jute is 100% biodegradable.

NATURAL

The baskets and bowls are made from both natural jute and coloured jute. The coloured jute is 100% Azo free.

All products are tested safe for food contact.

RESPONSIBLY SOURCED

ReSpiin storage bowls and baskets are hand woven in Bangladesh through a supplier working towards WFTO membership. The supplier is committed to providing regular employment in a working environment that is safe and hygienic, and they pay a living wage to all employees. Together they have developed an innovative way of producing jute rope and stylish jute baskets which means they can produce a much higher return from the jute than when it is sold for basic jute sacks.
