Runways are rife with weaves (the fabric kinds) for spring. But I've noticed the trend in lots of home goods, too. Woven goods remind me so much of when I was a kid in Jamaica ogling basket makers and also of the sweetgrass baskets of Charleston, South Carolina (where I went to uni). No wonder I have such an affinity for hand-woven wares! Such a fresh, tropical feel—perfect for my new home in brisk England. Except I don't think I'll partake in the rug version; our cats would just use it as a giant scratching post!
