About Coconut Bowls

Coconut Bowls is a brand and movement advocating for healthy living and conscious thinking, for both people and the planet. While in Bali in 2015, our Founder Jake stumbled across coconut shell handicrafts at a local market. Jake discovered that local craftspeople were carving and painting coconut shells, selling them to tourists as souvenirs. Jake learned that billions of coconut shells were going to waste every year. As a bi-product of the thriving coconut industry, coconut shells have traditionally been burned or discarded as landfill. Jake was devastated to learn that these shells – shaped almost perfectly to be used as a bowl – were considered waste. A local craftsman taught him that coconut shells have been used as bowls in his, and many other villages for hundreds of years. never seen this at home in Australia, Jake thought that people would like them. Jake's new friend made him some bowls and Jake packed as many as he could into his luggage and returned to Australia. After a couple of posts on Instagram, people from all over the world began asking if they could buy them. In just over 4 short years, our brand has reclaimed over 1 million discarded Coconut shells, provided jobs for dozens of artisans in South East Asia villages and helped thousands of people live more sustainably.
