Woman in garden with picnic basket

1. The alfresco accessory


“From weekend picnics to trips to the farmers’ market, I am always reaching for my Marché Backpack. Organic in nature, yet structured and sturdy, it will fit a whole host of seasonal finds.” 

2. The heatwave hero


“Synonymous with Summer, I can’t leave home without a sun hat. Our Lottie design is expertly woven from palm leaf and has a large brim to keep you feeling cool and shaded on hot days.”

3. The versatile vessel


“I love a double-duty piece and this Stoneware Utensil Croc is no exception. The perfect utilitarian update for kitchens, it also makes a wonderful centerpiece on tables when filled with flowers.”


4. The effortless enhancer


“There’s nothing like the warm glow of candlelight to transform an ambience – especially when dining alfresco. It ensures gatherings last long into the night for an evening to remember!”

5. The woven wonder


“Celebrating skilled artisans, our Allende Napkins are ethically woven in Mexico using time-honored techniques. What’s more, with each wash, the fibers continue to soften for long-lasting quality.”


6. The unique update


“Truly one of a kind, our Bancha Vase is handblown, so no two are the same. Just the thing for bringing the beauty of nature indoors, it’s calling for seasonal blooms and foraged foliage.”

7. The antique accent


“A stylish storyteller, our Ghent Jar is sure to become a talking point. Handcrafted and age-worn, this earth-toned ceramic boasts unique markings and is lovingly sourced from Chinese provinces.”


8. The perennial piece


“Classic and traditional, our coveted cutlery is inspired by a vintage French fiddle pattern. With understated flair and an elegant silhouette, this set deserves to be passed down the generations.”

9. The heritage heirloom


“Exclusive to us, the Cotswold Collection is crafted from sustainably sourced and salvaged pine. The deeply grooved grain beautifully exemplifies its timeworn character, while taking shape in silhouettes that honour ease and comfort.”


10. The forever favourite


“You can’t beat classic white serveware. The perfect accompaniment to every gathering, however big or small, it always deserves a place at the table. Timeless and versatile, dress it up or down to suit your style.”
