What does a Christmas tree look like without the needles? Something like this. Natural jute is woven by hand around an iron frame, shaped into soft, twisting branches.

Each one is handmade in India using traditional weaving techniques. Hang a few glass baubles from the branches, or leave it bare and let the texture do the talking. The smaller sizes sit happily on a sideboard, whilst the extra large stands on the floor on its own base.

Come January, give it a wipe with a dry cloth and pack it away for next year. No dropped needles, no trip to the tip. Indoor use only.
