CM150
£48.00£38.00
Contemporary in design, yet practical and lightweight. Our Katran container has small handles and a lid making it great for storage. It's matte black colour easily blends in, or stands out, depending on how you use it within your colour scheme. We like this container as kitchen storage, but it can be used in all sorts of different ways.
Katran is a 100% bio-degradable material that has been developed by our supplier in Jaipur, India. Katran is handmade by upcycling waste cotton fabric from the fashion industry. Off-cuts are sorted and then ground down and refined. This is then mixed into a cotton pulp which can then be hand sculpted into shape. Creations are then dried, painted and finished to become sustainable, textured, lightweight pieces.
Please note: these items are not water resistant.
These pieces are handmade and so there may slight variations in size, detail and colour.
