The story behind Ten and Co.
ESTABLISHED IN 2013




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!

I ordered 2 green-bamboo and 2 white-bamboo toothbrushes as I was looking for completely plastic free toothbrushes. They came packaged in lovely thin cardboard slips and the toothbrushes themselves look and feel amazing. I’m a big fan and will be reordering!
GreenTulip is like shopping at your local independent shop on the high street. I like the choice of gift ideas and the pick of natural products.
I found the present I was looking for, which was quite exclusive and hard to find from Ampersand Fragrances that it's only stocked in specific shops. Delivery was really quick too. I would definitely recommend!
Very pleased with my table mats and coasters.
Excellent quality and fast delivery.
Just what I was looking for.
I just stumbled across green tulip by accident, but ended up buying loads of stuff and definitely plan to come back for more! Such a great selection with really reasonable prices.
Ordered some Respiin placemats and coasters from here at such a good price! They are stunning and exactly what I was looking for. Quick delivery!
