What our customers say

  • Emma - So Pleased

    Great choice of beautiful baskets on the website. Difficult to choose just one.

    My purchases arrived quickly and all were packed carefully and arrived safely.

  • Pru B - Fantastic Laundry Basket

    I was a bit reticent about spending so much on a laundry basket when I could get one half the price from John Lewis but I am SO delighted with this lovely colourful basket which is now a centrepiece in my bathroom! It looks really well made, is a fabulous design and I'm very glad I got one before they sold out...please pass on my comments to the talented craftsmen and women who make these baskets.

  • Candy C - Love this basket!

    It’s lovely and looks really well made and strong with a leather handle. It also looks much more expensive than it was. I’ve bought an extra one for my daughter as she admired it.
