Product Reviews by Experts


What a game-changer. An incredibly smart solution to a very common pain point, executed with real attention to quality. The brush feels durable and beautifully made, standing up to repeated use without compromising on performance. It’s the kind of practical innovation that quickly earns a permanent place in your routine – not because it’s flashy, but because it just really works and genuinely solves a problem. It’s refreshing to see a brand whose social and enviro commitments feel as closely aligned with its product. Investing in long-term relationships with skilled artisans gives the brush a tangible sense of quality and craftsmanship (which you can’t miss when you use it!), while the continued support of Take 3 demonstrates a deeper, authentic commitment to the place that inspires the products. There’s a consistency to the thinking behind the brand that I found particularly compelling.


This cute little tool actually works to remove sand and debris after a beach or river visit. It took a little time for my 7-year-old to get used to the feeling of using it but now she has no problems… and I have less sand in my car! I love that this cute brush is handmade in Sri Lanka using natural products. I also love this brand’s approach to sustainability and the fact they have donated $40k to Take 3 for the Sea, an Australian organisation that empowers individuals and communities to reduce plastic pollution and protect marine environments.


I really appreciate the natural materials and beautiful craftsmanship that have gone into this product. It’s a clever little brush that works well for removing sand, and I can see it being particularly useful kept in the car or beach van to brush everyone’s feet off before heading home. I really value the brand’s commitment to using natural, biodegradable materials and partnering with a Fair Trade workshop that supports skilled artisans. Their ongoing donations to Take 3 for the Sea also demonstrate a genuine commitment to protecting the coastal environments their products are inspired by.
