Walk along any British high street and you'll likely see the same formula of shops again and again. You'll pass an H&M, a Zara, an ‘American Candy’ shop and several coffee shop chains, each flogging their wares.
For a long while these companies have dominated the landscape of large towns and cities, and you'd have to travel to art forward destinations like Margate and Rye to get your hands on unique and handmade items. Then came Toast, the fashion and homeware brand that aimed to ‘highlight contemporary craft, created by a global network of skilled craftsmen.’ By creating beautiful homewares, furnishings and accessories that are designed to last a lifetime, Toast has become a firm favourite and a staple in our shopping diet.
Eight years after CEO Suzie de Rohan Willner took up the reins, the ethos has remained unchanged. Her vision for Toast is one of ‘thoughtfulness’, in both how the company ‘treats people and the planet.’ From pottery to bed linen, their items are timeless, elegant and endlessly covetable. Below, we've rounded up our pick of the Toast bunch.
