Camping Crockery from Olpro [AD]

Features gifted products

We have been using Olpro awnings for many years, and are currently advocates for the brand. Along with the awnings, we’ve had accessories such as tent carpets, internal rooms and windbreaks. What we’re not great at as a family is packing light or making our own lives easier. This year though, I decided it was time to get a crockery set that would make packing up the van a little more practical. It looks fab, stacks together easily and doesn’t break. Ideal.

About Olpro

As well as making camping gear that we love, Olpro are based really near to us in rural Worcestershire. The brand combines quality and sustainability, producing outdoor gear that is practical, vibrant and dynamic.

Olpro develop technologies to improve the way their products perform, ensuring they remain fully innovative. The brand is a B-Corp, part of a global movement of businesses pushing for genuine change. They also send any canvas from returns or products not fit to re-sell to ReTribe, who use and recycle the canvas to avoid it being wasted and going to landfill

Having been using Olpro for many years, I admire the quality of the things they produce. We still have our original Olpro awning from several years ago, which did us proud the past week in the Isle of Arran. Doesn’t it look good with a backdrop of the Aurora Borealis? It makes such a difference when brands produce items that are truly built to last.

Olpro Signature Melamine Set

Olpro’s Signature Melamine tableware set has a classic looking design. OLPRO aimed to give melamine a look of classic porcelain, and it has worked. This off-white set boasts an OLPRO stamp in the style of British porcelain crockery makers.

So why not just make it from porcelain? Because porcelain breaks! Whether you’re travelling in a van, tent camping or simply enjoying an outdoor meal in the garden, it’s really easy to knock a plate, bowl or mug onto the floor. We have lost loads of crockery like this over the years. Mugs in particular tend not to survive.

The other advantage of this Signature set is its shape. The square style looks really modern. Better still, it stacks easily in the cupboard, taking up surprisingly less space than the same number of plates, cups and bowls in our previous sets.

What’s in the Olpro Signature Melamine Set?

The Olpro Signature Melamine Set contains the following items:

• Dinner Plates (25.5cm)
• Side plates (20cm)
• Bowls (15.5cm)
• Mugs (7.5cm x 9.5cm)

You can choose between a set for 2, 4, 6 or 8 people. We went for the set for 4, and it has been everything we need for our camper van trips. Better still, we’ve been using it all year and none of it has got broken yet! You can see photos on this post, and check out our unboxing video on Instagram. We had a little bit of fun with it, making it look like the children were actually putting things away. Don’t worry – it will never happen!
