A natural water cooler?

Pretty much

Calling it a water cooler would not quite do it justice, but calling it just a clay jar would not either.

The clay breathes, and as it does, the water gradually cools.

It is not as cold as a refrigerator, but this kind of cooling was enough for generations before us.

So we thought: instead of leaving it as a memory, why not bring it back in a new way that belongs in today’s homes?

And that is where the story of Barmat Liwan began.

When Your Barma Arrives

Before the first use, your Barma needs a simple preparation step to remove any natural clay dust and get it ready for water.

In the video, we’ll show you the full process step by step, from the first rinse until your Barma is ready to use.

💧 Most Important Step

After cleaning, fill the Barma with water and leave it for 6–8 hours.

How to Clean Your Barma

In this video, we’ll show you how to clean your Barma inside and out in a simple and safe way.

🚨 Most importantly, use only gentle, natural cleaning materials and avoid harsh chemicals to protect the clay and preserve its natural properties.

Our Relationship with Water

In this video

we asked a simple question:

Why are some people still attached to the Barma?

BEFORE, WATER HAD A JOURNEY

It had time, a place, and care. As life developed, water became available to us instantly, and somewhere along the way, we may have forgotten just how precious it is.

From Clay to Barmat Liwan

Every Barmat Liwan is handcrafted in Kuwait 🇰🇼 from high-quality natural Italian clay.

Shaping → Engraving → Drying → Firing

Every stage takes time and cannot be rushed.

That time and care is what gives every Barma its own character.

"Between the craftsmanship of the past and the making of today, much has changed… except for the things that can only be shaped by time, hands, and patience."
