The ultimate home accessory


Wicker is a staple across the board, whether on your arm or in your home.

There is always love for the wicker or woven-look basket, from their versatile chicness in home and living to the classic panier as the perfect everyday bag. With their natural, farmhouse-style vibe, these storage and style alternatives achieve an effortless aesthetic and bring an earthy element to your home.

Wicker became a popular technique around the 17th century, and it is suggested the first wicker basket originated in Egypt – appreciated for its durability in mummification. The technique of weaving baskets is a craft older than pottery, according to researchers, and these creations were common in things like transportation and storing perishables, across many cultures. Today, they are just as practical.

A feature plant pot: Through colour and texture that assimilates plants, woven baskets are ideal homes for your favourite plant – just ensure you line it first with a plastic bag or landscape fabric.
Make laundry luxe: A woven basket with a linen inner lining makes a chic laundry alternative and looks gorgeous in your wardrobe or bathroom. Choose one with a lid to keep dirty clothing hidden.
Blanket basket: Place a square or circular woven basket in a space that suits your living room, such as by your couch or in a corner. Throw in a cosy blanket that matches your colour scheme, and spill it over the sides for that just-threw-it-in laid-back look.
