A shop that has been a staple on Catherine Hill for the last 18 years is due to close next month.
World Basket, which sells a selection of antique, vintage and contemporary rugs and cushions sourced from around the world, will close on 1st March to spend more time on buying expeditions.
Peter Cox, a partner at World Basket, said, “We’ve really enjoyed trading on the hill for the last 18 years, but have decided we don’t need the six days-a-week commitment in the shop. We will be able to spend more time on buying expeditions, a part of our business we really enjoy. We would like to thank all of the customers who have visited our shop over the years. Our last day will be Sunday 1st March, for the Frome Independent Market.”
World Basket will continue trading on its website, www.worldbasket.co.uk, and at various textile shows in London.
