Kenyan Soapstone Oval Contemporary Soap Dish 'Textured Natural'

£22.00
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.
Color: Marbled Natural

A textured take on AARVEN's contemporary soap dish — raised legs and five drainage holes keep soap dry and long-lasting, with a tactile textured exterior in natural soapstone.

Soapstone is a tactile, marble-like stone, and being a natural material, every piece varies slightly in colour and pattern. Ours are polished and finished with natural beeswax.

Who made your soapstone carving?

Hand carved by the Tabaka Youth Self Help Group, a collective of soapstone artisans based in Tabaka, South West Kenya, founded in 1996 and led today by Bonnie. The group carves each piece from soapstone quarried locally, continuing a craft the region has been known for over generations.

Care

Handle with care and wash by hand — soapstone isn't suitable for the dishwasher.
