Not every seed collection needs a full-sized tin, and the Collector Mini Seed Store is proof of that. At just 16.6cm wide, it's the pared-back option in the range, small enough to tuck onto a narrow shelf or windowsill while still holding a surprising number of packets.
Small footprint, same considered design
Sophisticated typography and natural leather handles at either side carry over from the rest of the Collector range, giving this mini tin the same distinctive look as its larger siblings. Elegant curves and a flawless, seam-free finish keep the shape clean, and the sleek good looks are designed to complement a home's aesthetic rather than just blend into a shed shelf.
A beautiful Cotswold blue
Created in strong steel with a tough powder coating, this tin comes in a beautiful Cotswold blue, a shade with enough depth to stand out without overpowering a room. If blue isn't quite right for your space, the same mini design is also available in Olive.
Compact, but properly secured
Two metal clasps hold the hinged lid securely shut, so even at this smaller size, the tin keeps seed packets safely contained rather than letting the lid pop open in transit or on a shelf. It's a sensible bit of engineering carried down from the full-sized store, scaled to suit the smaller footprint.
Built from steel, finished with leather
The tin itself is made from strong steel with a tough powder coating, chosen for durability as much as looks. The leather handles add warmth and a tactile quality that steel alone doesn't offer, giving this mini tin the same considered, furniture-like feel as the rest of the Collector range, just in a size that suits a smaller seed collection or a tighter shelf.
Part of a wider Collector range
This mini seed store belongs to Burgon & Ball's new Collector range, a collection built around matching tools, seed storage tins, gloves, handy caddies, and more, including an indoor watering can available in a choice of colours. The whole range leans into stylish design touches and rich, considered colour, so it's easy to mix and match pieces or build up the full set over time.
