NEW YORK—Core Home, a trend-driven housewares brand, has added to its Core Kitchen and Manna lines with new food storage and hydration products.
Within the food container category, Core Kitchen recently debuted its TrueDivide glass food storage containers made with borosilicate glass and a lid with a silicone barrier. The three different sizes of food containers accommodate hot and cold items and allow users to separate items such as soup and bread without unwanted mixing. Also new are Core Kitchen Bento Boxes in single or stacking styles and Reusable Food Wraps made of flexible silicone in sets of four.
Under its Manna label, Core Home now offers Nomad Food Jars and Lunch Pots, featuring double-wall, vacuum-insulated construction for both hot and cold items. The containers, which come in a variety of colors, prints and patterns, include sporks for serving and eating and the Lunch Pot has a carry handle.
Offered under the Manna Hydration brand are mixed-material accessories—a bottle brush and reusable straws. The flexible bottle brush, with a dual-texture design, is made of BPA and lead-free materials. It comes with a separate 10-inch straw brush, which can be used with Manna Hydration’s line of reusable straws made of brightly colored silicone or Tritan plastic.
Core Home’s Manna Hydration line has also expanded its market to include Korea. The company is introducing a five-item bottle line, featuring some of its popular U.S. reusable bottles, to the Korean market via TV home shopping, specialty shops and several well-known Korean department stores.
The double-wall, vacuum-insulated bottles are available in various sizes and fashion-forward designs.
