Description
A traditional milk churn-inspired planter, Alba from Ivyline is made of concrete and waterproof without a drainage hole, for use indoors. Ideal for small houseplants, greenery contrasts beautifully with the rustic material and finish. It's UV stable too, so you can style it on a sun-lit shelf or window sill without worrying about colour fading or cracking.
Our Stylist Says
I really like this Ivyline Alba pot for its clean, minimalist look and versatile size, making it a great addition to many interior styles. Its cement finish lends an industrial edge, which works beautifully in modern, Scandinavian, or pared-back boho interiors. Because of its simple design and neutral tone, it pairs well with a variety of plants, from succulents to ferns, allowing for easy styling updates. Practical tips include using it on a windowsill or a side table to bring a touch of greenery indoors, and considering a small saucer underneath if your plant requires watering - although its materials also lend a sturdy, durable quality that can stand up to everyday use. Overall, it’s a contemporary, understated piece that adds texture and interest without overwhelming a space.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
