Baguettes: the other fork
Essential cutlery for seizing food in Asia, baguettes come in different formats depending on their origin. The Chinese chopsticks, often made of bamboo, are long because they allow food to be placed in shared dishes in the center of the table. The Japanese chopsticks are made of lacquered wood, short and with a pointed end, because the food is not shared: each member at the table has his own plate.
Both are shaped like the beak of a bird so that they can effectively grasp the grain of rice and fish, without getting their hands dirty or wet. They are also used to stir, separate and cut.

We can together elevate these moments of sharing around a reinvented end of day happy hour, the preparation of a meal or setting a beautiful table.
Please find below our updated guidelines in an effort to serve you during this time:
- Complimentary shipping, no minimum amount.
- Extended returns up to 60 days from order.
- Customer service is available 7 days a week to share advice and recommendations, either by email or by phone. Your boutique managers are available, as is our client specialist here.
