South Down Trugs are skilfully handcrafted, using birch for the rim and handle. Each piece of wood is hand-shaved to the correct thickness using a draw knife, which the craftsman does instinctively by eye. The boards of the trug are made using recycled birch, these boards are placed inside the frame and fixed securely into position using solid brass screws and beautiful solid copper tacks.

In the heydays of the 1820’s, just before Queen Victoria ascended to the English Throne, a Man of Sussex, one Thomas Smith of Herstmonceux, made a decision about his life that was to have a profound effect on Sussex and the world…. taking an ancient idea dating back to Anglo Saxon times, Thomas redesigned the historic “trog” and in so doing he created a staple of a quintessentially English country garden, he invented the Sussex Trug.

These trugs are made to be treasured and enjoyed for many many years.
