Description
This pair of mini storage tins brings the cheerful look of retro food packaging to a shelf or desk, with one tin labelled for Moroccan lemons and the other for rose harissa. Both are made of tin and styled like vintage food cans, with gently ridged sides, gold-tone rims and a warm gold-tone finish inside. The larger tin is a soft teal, printed with a big yellow lemon flecked with white, a sprig of green leaves and the words Moroccan Lemons, along with a small line about thin skinned beldi lemons from Marrakech. The smaller tin is a deep navy blue, with a white plate of red chillies beneath the words Rose Harissa and a neat border of white dots at the top and bottom. Both are open at the top, so whatever you keep in them stays easy to reach.
Set side by side, the two make a lively little pairing for a kitchen shelf, a dresser or an open cupboard, where their bright labels add a welcome splash of colour. We like them just as much away from the kitchen: on a desk they keep pens, paper clips and sticky notes in order, and on a dressing table they hold hair ties, rings and other small trinkets. As a present, the pair makes a fun gift that slips easily into a hamper.
Being tin, each one is light to move around and sturdy enough for everyday odds and ends. Care is simple: wipe them clean with a damp cloth and dry them straight away, as you would with any tin, so the print and finish stay looking their best. For the neatest display, stand the taller lemons tin just behind the harissa tin for a staggered look, or tie the pair together with a length of ribbon for a small gift that feels properly thought through.
