Description
I bought these tumblers as they tick all our boxes: fairtrade, upcycled, super functional and made by a family-run business providing income for over 500 families.
A great eco product, using 100% recycled glass, which is broken up, washed and melted before being mouth-blown and shaped into the finished product.
You know how much we love Upcycled goods at RainbowLife and supporting a family business to boot!
These recycled tumblers are a solid piece of kitchenware and a talking piece on any table. Imagine the stories if the bottles could talk! Anyone been to Bolivia? I haven't yet but it's on my bucket list.
They go nicely with our Recycled Glass Jug
