Mini Story:
These classic Nylex kitchen canisters are straight out of a 1960s Aussie pantry—practical, playful, and full of mid-century character. With bright colours and whimsical illustrations, they’re a nostalgic nod to a time when food storage was as much about style as function. Made in Australia and built to last, these are ideal for collectors or those styling a retro kitchen space.
