handmade soap dish

Through the Callotl Project, the Domenech Foundation in El Salvador focuses on the sustainable development of the Costa del Sol region and the conservation of sea turtles. They achieve this goal by creating sustainable products made from parts of the coconut fruit that were previously underutilized and often burned as firewood in the area. Their creations are not only eco-friendly products but also a reflection of the flora, fauna and breathtaking landscapes of the region. Salvadoran artisans expertly carve coconut shells to create this practical soap dish, featuring a modern design with three drainage holes and a pinewood base, perfect for securely holding your soap bars in place while adding an organic touch to your bathroom.

Going where wood cannot, this bar soap dish leverages the low water absorption properties of natural coconut shells to stand up to years of water exposure without rot. Incorporating drain holes in the design, Balinese artisan Sindhu Nata carves this soap holder with a graceful butterfly ready for flight.

This soap dish features Monstera deliciosa or Swiss cheese plant-inspired drainage holes that keep bar soap dry and easy to use. Balinese artisan Sindhu Nata chooses to create this soap dish from coconut shell, which is plentiful as a byproduct of coconut harvests and durable thanks to the favorable water resistance properties that exceed those of other biodegradable materials.
