Tiipoi Longpi Pottery
Tiipoi works with a small number of artisans, led by master craftsman Khanmung Sasa, to create useful pottery made of river clay and ground stone from Longpi, a remote village in Manipur, India. Each piece is hand built, sun-dried and woodfired, with a burnished surface that forms a natural protective seal ideal for slow cooking.
Longpi pottery is made using an age-old technique unique to just two villages in north-east India. Made by mixing ground black stone with locally found clay, Longpi pieces are hand built, left in the sun to dry out and then woodfired. The burnished finish creates a natural protective seal, whilst characterising Longpi with its deep black patina. Slender shape which tapers inwards before the flared top. Being handmade, each will vary slightly in shape and size.
Always place your Longpi candle holder on a protective surface away from other furnishings and handle with care, as it will get hot. Take caution near open flames and never leave burning candles unattended. The candle holder fits our English Beeswax Dinner Candles.

Cotton Care Guide
Cotton is a versatile, comfortable and breathable fabric and is easy to look after. At TOAST, we love cotton for its ability to take dye and retain bright colours and intricate prints.
Obtained from the fibres surrounding the soft seed pods of the cotton plant, cotton is a natural and biodegradable fibre that has been used since antiquity. The fibres are cleaned and spun into threads before being made into a variety of fabrics, from denim and corduroy to poplin and twills.
How to wash
Cotton can be washed at 30 degrees in the machine with similar colours. Try to wash your cotton less frequently to maintain the shape, colour, and quality of your garment.
How to dry & store
Reshape your garment whilst damp by holding the side seams together and shaking. Cotton is best dried flat or hanging to prevent the need for ironing. If an item requires ironing, then it is best to do so whilst slightly damp or using the steam setting.
Hang your cotton clothes away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
