So many aspects of life in the UK inspire British designer Victoria Eggs' collections and ethos, and our great British wildlife is certainly one of them. The cosy and comforting Autumn Garden collection by British designer Victoria Eggs is filled with curiosity and warmth and was inspired by the smell of pine needles, the crunch of frosty leaves underfoot and snuggling up next to the fire. Autumn is Victoria's favourite season, which is abundantly clear in the beautiful detail found in the collection, including Conkers, English Ivy, and British wildlife. Perfect for cosy Autumnal homes, it's easy to see why this collection is a best seller in garden centres up and down the country. As with all of Victoria's other collections, each item is hand-crafted in the UK.
