Our Stylist Says
I really like this vintage hair tidy jar for its blend of practicality and elegance. Its art deco cut-glass design combined with the silver lid makes it a versatile piece that can seamlessly fit into both traditional and eclectic interiors. I’d suggest using it on a dressing table or bathroom shelf to organise jewellery, hair accessories, or small keepsakes. For styling, consider pairing it with other vintage or antique items to create a curated, nostalgic look, or place it alongside more modern pieces for a surprising contrast that adds charm and personality. Its historical appeal and timeless design make it a functional decorative accent that’s perfect for adding a touch of history to your everyday routines.

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.
