LOBSTER TRAP GIFTS
Check Out This Article About The Wine Trap–
If there are two things that I love dearly in this world, it is lobster and wine. And when both are elegantly intertwined (Quite literally), art is born. Enza Iacono of Gloucester, MA found a way to achieve this sustainable brilliance, and her creations are both aesthetically pleasing as well as fun and functional.
Lobster Trap Gifts was born in 2016, and originally began as a hobby. The only daughter, and youngest of of six children, Enza grew up in a commercial fishing family, dating back to the 1900’s. She has fond memories of awaiting dockside, the return of all five brothers as well as her father, from their various voyages at sea. And although Enza never became a fisherwoman herself, she has found another way to exercise her own unique hand at the trade – Her own expression of a sincere love and passion for the ocean.
And we have whiskey to thank for the ingenuity behind Lobster Trap Gifts, an idea that began from Enza’s husband’s desire for a shelf to display his collection. The shelf was constructed from lobster trap wire, supporting the whiskey and complete with door and closure – True to a genuine lobster trap.
