Wicker & Wit started with one very bad decision: walking away from a basket I loved.

I searched high and low for something similar and found a whole lot of beige. Nice, sensible, forgettable beige. So I designed my own, in all the colours I actually wanted.

Before long, friends were asking where they could get one. That first basket turned into an order of 12, then purses, then bag charms, then hair clips with opinions.

Today my baskets are handwoven in Madagascar, then designed and styled by me in Cape Town with the patches, charms and colour that give each one its own personality. No two are exactly the same, and that’s the whole point.

Whether you find me online or in your favourite little boutique, every piece is made to be fun, a little bit cheeky and completely unmistakable.
