NEW PRODUCT ALERT! . We are delighted to be now stocking these beautifully made, high quality masks by the social enterprise ‘We Make Good’, who aim to help forge pathways towards a positive future. They strive to create products in a way that can help create a fairer, more inclusive society. These masks are also part of a campaign being run with the irish refugee council which will see 10,000 masks made and delivered to direct provision centres around ireland. Made with 3 layers; using 100% cotton and a middle spun bond barrier, a wire for the nose and adjustable elastics, you can be assured they are super comfortable to wear while also meeting WHO standards. Perfect job.
RESTOCK! . Charcoal filters are now back in stock. Binchotan active charcoal has been used in japan as a water purifier since the 17th century and is a great, plastic free way to make your tap water taste great. It may seem counter-intuitive to purify your drinking water with a stick of charcoal, but binchotan active carbon made from tree branches is renowned for its ability to soften water, add good minerals and absorb unwanted tastes and odours, such as chlorine. use the charcoal with an eau good water bottle, which locks it in place so the filter won't knock around inside the bottle. Or if you would like to use your own bottle, we now have a coil and charcoal available which will fit into most bottles and carafes. Lovely!
We received a shipment of some very tasty bits yesterday and are busy getting them out on the shop floor today.

Drop by today (Sunday) until 4.30pm or have a peek online at Designist.ie
