The Chaumont Chestnut Garden Holdall — Waxed Canvas Utility Trug

The Provenance
 
Named after the historic Château de Chaumont, home to France’s world-renowned International Garden Festival. This substantial, open-top utility holdall is engineered as a modern, hard-wearing interpretation of the traditional English garden trug—designed to move seamlessly from gathering cut flowers to a weekend countryside market.
 
The Architecture & Versatility
 
Built with a rigid, wide-mouthed structure, this holdall sits flat and stays open for easy, hands-free loading. While designed with the passionate gardener in mind, its robust layout has made it a favourite for a vast array of country pursuits: from holding equestrian grooming tools and farrier kits to packing countryside picnics and farm-shop market hauls.
 
The Exterior Pocket Layout: Equipped with deep, gathered elasticated pockets on one end and a slip pocket on the other—perfect for securing water bottles, pruning shears, or small tools—alongside clean slip pockets along one flank for notebooks or plant labels.
The Handles: Long, robust genuine leather shoulder straps, securely fixed with hand-set solid metal rivets to ensure heavy loads are carried comfortably and reliably.
The Interior: A vast, unrestrictive central compartment fully lined with our signature curated cotton textiles, ranging from classic country tartans to beautiful woodland and farmstead motifs.
