Kenyan Soapstone Oval Contemporary Soap Dish 'Textured Pink'

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

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 marbled pink soapstone.

Soapstone is a tactile, marble-like stone, and being a natural material, every piece varies slightly in colour and pattern — pink can arrive in a rosy or peachy tone. 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.
