Why I Love Ten and Co.

Green Tulip Founder
TEN AND CO.
Canadian born interior designer Christen Irwin had always been passionate about design and was selling screen-printed items at farmer’s markets.
The idea for Ten and Co came in 2012 after receiving an eco-friendly sponge cloth gifted from a friend. She quickly noticed the environmental impact of many commonly used kitchen items so set about creating her own eco-friendly and beautifully-designed Swedish Sponge Cloths.
The following year Ten and Co was born and, along with her son (which she herself claims was insane!), she brought her super absorbent, reusable, functional and compostable Swedish Sponge Cloths to the North American market.
Over the next six years, the brand grew to include cotton and linen blend tea towels printed using toxic-free, water-based dyes and other eco kitchen items.
Being wife to Dave and an extremely busy mum of two, Christen herself admits the road to building your own business is a bumpy one! But her inspiring journey has proven that pursuing your passion is wholeheartedly rewarding and worthwhile.
The business continued to grow quickly and in August 2021 Christen opened a shop in her home town of Oakville, Ontario.
When a product becomes widely available, which cellulose sponge cloths are these days, I'm always proud that Green Tulip stocks one of the original brands on the market - which also happens to be the most well designed! The perfect example of a gift that is both beautiful and practical!

The coasters are excellent quality, a really lovely design, and really reasonably priced. They were shipped and delivered quickly and just an all 'round positive experience and purchase.
I can't comment on the actual products I ordered because they were all gifts, but the packaging is good and everything attractive. The order came quickly. There is such a huge choice on the website I will certainly be using it again.
Always loved these bags and now have found one which is kind to the earth and looks so cheery and can be taken anywhere with all the goodies or everyday essentials if you're not using for groceries etc.
