Limited Edition & One of a Kind: Filou Reclaimed Seaglass



On my recent trip to Isla Mujeres, Mexico (a fabulous and quaint island off of Cancun), I came across a beach that was full of seaglass. This beach was quite rocky and was obviously a place for party-ers to hang out, thus leaving their broken beer and liquor bottles behind. Something good did come out of it though. There are little treasures of seaglass sprinkling the shoreline. My favourite being the aqua pieces. The clean salt water has been washing over them for months...years maybe, which have softened the edges and give a nice smooth 'sand-blasted' texture. I love the rawness and irregularity to the pieces.

I was looking for something to add to the Filou pieces. I think Seaglass is a nice little addition. The pieces are one of a kind, unique and we are doing some good for the environment by reclaiming and reusing the glass (not to mention cleaning up the beaches a bit!).

The nature of these pieces are that no two are alike and when you spot one you like, you shouldn't let it go. The Filou Reclaimed Seaglass pieces are Limited Edition and One of a Kind. We'll be on the look out for seaglass on the beaches we travel to. Another excuse to travel... =)
