Charlie’s Sussex Trugs
With a history spanning over two centuries the Sussex Trug and how it is made has barely changed thanks to simple design and the common sense use of native local materials. Young coppiced Sweet Chestnut, clefts of willow and a coat of linseed oil make a Sussex Trug that is handmade for years of faithful service. Find out more by clicking here
