Orwell Shoe Horn
Extra long handle shoe horn
These have been a surprise bestseller for us! Turns out everyone wants a shoehorn. We've learnt that you need one by the front door, one by the back door, one by your bed, another by the sofa. Or just to hang on a hook by the door because it looks good. They make great presents, and you don't have to be eligible for a bus pass to use a shoe horn, especially one this stylish. Handmade from Burmese hardwood, with an extra long handle, you'll never bend down to yank your boots on again. Personally, we just like to hold it and marvel at its perfection.
If you are wondering where you could keep such a thing, perhaps you should have a look at our Inya Rattan Umbrella Stand.

Home is at the heart of Kalinko, the social enterprise bringing the best of Burmese craftsmanship into your living spaces.
The high quality and beauty of these homewares turns everyday items into something to cherish, from boho-style rattan furniture to hand-chiselled marble bathroom accessories.
Each Kalinko piece takes days, or even weeks, to make. They use the phrase “slow homeware” to describe the steady, age-old techniques their crafters use to create these long-lasting and sustainable items.
The artisans are based in villages right across Burma, with Kalinko working with around 300 small craft families.
38% of families in Burma live off $300 a month, yet the cost of adequate nutrition, healthcare and education is $750 a month. Kalinko aims to close this gap for its makers, reducing their need to rely on unskilled farming work to supplement their income.
Every piece you buy from them ensures these artisans get the fair pay their skills deserve. It’s a mission that makes their stunning homewares an even more meaningful addition to your home.
