This design-oriented dustpan from Alice Supply Co. will add some color to the otherwise mundane and dirty task of sweeping up in the kitchen. I am glad that designers are finally remaking some of these less glamorous tools of the home. And the Alice Supply Co. is doing just that with hoses, brushes, plungers, pails, brooms and toolboxes through their hip housewares line.
Former fashion industry executives Maria Barnes and Raili Clasen were south of the border one time and noticed brightly colored pails and brooms in an old hardware store. From there it only took some margaritas to come up with the concept of the Alice Supply Co. Of course, some may object to the somewhat stereotypical woman printed on the pan, but the logo and company name is a nod to Alice on The Brady Bunch. I still wouldn’t recommend husbands to give this as a gift to their spouse though.
I couldn’t find the orange dustpan sold online, but you can shop directly through the Alice Supply Co. and buy a lime green dustpan along with some other designs. The cost is $18.
