Description
This pair of storage tins brings the look of an old Parisian grocery shelf to your home. Each tin is printed with a Café de Paris label in the style of a vintage food can. The larger tin is mustard yellow with navy detailing and reads Chocolat Chaud, the French for hot chocolate. The smaller is navy blue with yellow accents and reads Café Classique, a nod to classic coffee. Both labels sit in a white oval framed with little fan motifs and French lettering, and the gold-toned interiors add a warm glint at the rim. The larger measures about 11cm across and 13cm tall, and the smaller is about 10cm across and 12cm tall.
Because they are open-topped, they suit the things you reach for every day. On a desk, one holds pens and pencils while the other keeps scissors, rulers or highlighters together. In the kitchen they suit wooden spoons and spatulas on the worktop, and on a dressing table they tidy make-up brushes and combs. They make an easy gift too, and slip neatly into a hamper alongside a bag of good coffee or a favourite hot chocolate.
Both are made from tin with gently ribbed sides, just like a real food can. The smaller tin nests inside the larger, so the pair takes up the space of one when you are storing or carrying them. Care is simple: wipe clean with a damp cloth, then dry with a soft cloth. Stand them side by side for a cheerful contrast of yellow and navy. You could also split them between the desk and the kitchen so the French café feel carries from room to room.
