Brabantia
Brabantia in short
Brabantia is a Dutch brand founded in 1919 in Aalst that crafts household classics: pedal bins, rotary dryers, ironing boards, and storage canisters. It is distinguished by generous warranty terms and accessible spare parts, allowing you to replace worn components rather than the entire item.
