THE RIGHT ONE: HAVE YOU FOUND THE PERECT BASKET?

You might recall a time not too long ago, perhaps ten  years or so,  when suddenly everyone was toting oversized market baskets and filling their houses with wicker.

As with many things in fashion, what appeared to be an overnight phenomenon, was  in fact, the result of a lot of media attention  and the work of people like India Hicks who made wicker and island style…cool. 

Now with so many brands doing versions, there’s no excuse not to have a great basket. The ultra-chic Nomad basket, pictured, is among the best we’ve seen.  You can use them to stow everything from magazines to wood, blankets, towels, toys, loo paper, ferns, a citrus tree, whatever you fancy.  

Remember, there are a few rules to observe when purchasing a new-season basket: the emphasis is on proportion, weave, colour, detailing and finish.  You don’t want a basket that is top heavy, badly-made or too yellow in hue.
