BAG FOR LIFE
Whatever job you set out to do, you can be sure there will be another tool you’ll need along the way, so I don’t go anywhere in the garden without my trusty canvas tote bag. But if I were looking to upgrade, I’d be seriously considering this trug by Stonesfield Leather. Handcrafted in the Cotswolds using vegetable tan hide, solid brass fixings and tough, rot-proof waxed thread, it’s built to last a lifetime. It comes in natural, tan and brown and measures 43cm x 20cm; £295 from sfleather.co.uk. Brightly coloured and personalised leather trugs and pouches are also available.
