Gift Focus inc Attire Accessories - September/October 2020

80 offerings in 2009. Besmo was first formed in 1993 and was one of the main pillars of the Ethical Giftware Industry and a perfect addition to Tilnar Art’s collection. Today, the company continues to expand and support more disadvantaged producers. Tilnar Art incorporated the Azeti Range in its collection just over two years ago and is launching over 100 new products, including the fabulous Meg Hawkins Collections and Azeti Collections and now the eco-friendly H20 Collection of Re-Usable Copper Water Bottles, which we hope will help the environment “one sip at a time.” What challenges have you overcome? The current climate is our biggest challenge, with retail customers having to change the way customers shop, this may influence which items sell for the retailers. We wish all of the retail shops and outlets all the best in these crazy times. Tell us about your product offering. When designing a product and eventually adding it to our collection we do our best to visualise it in the modern home. We never lose sight of the eventual consumer and the retailer. We travel thousands of miles every year to find you products that give you the edge and maintain our increasing number of artisans by providing them regular and sustainable trade. All our products are hand-made and fairly traded. We check all our products for quality at source. Sizes, shapes and colours of our products may vary slightly because they are hand-made using natural materials. What are your most popular ranges? The most popular range currently is the H20 Collection of Re-Usable Copper Water Bottles. Here we’ve highlighted why you should choose a Re-usable Copper Water Bottle from our H2O Collection: Help reduce plastic pollution – 10,000 Plastic water bottles are purchased every second that are not recycled. By using our Copper Water Bottles you will be “helping the environment one sip at a time” by reducing the use of single use plastic water bottles. Ocean friendly – The Copper Water Bottles are not only sustainably sourced, but are recyclable and plastic free, coming in a beautiful recycled paper
