modern and country settings. Our goal is to provide 'something different,' be it an item of furniture or a beautiful accent piece that may well become a treasured heirloom.” Briggs adds, “Virtually all products are hand-picked by myself, not out of a catalogue or from a website, but straight from the country of origin.” Being an independent, privately owned business, Briggs has been able to instill her own values into the Wicker Emporium brand- something she finds imperative in this day and age. “The ‘Wicker’ brand is 50 years old, and the world has come a long way in those 50 years, and small as we are, we want to play our part in continuing to make it a better place for us all to live in harmony and re-use and protect it wherever we can,” says Briggs. Thankfully, now more than ever, consumers are looking for that “greener option” when buying new items. And no matter your style, be it rustic, wabi-sabi, or Scandinavian, Wicker Emporium has something that will surely enchant you, while leaving that "buyer’s guilt" behind. In these current times, where we’re all spending a little TOO much time at home, interior design projects have been in full force for many Islanders. From de-cluttering to complete room makeovers, we’re all realizing how important it is to create a space you can love, and support local businesses while doing so. For this reason, many
are choosing Wicker Emporium when looking for something new. “Our plan is to continue to offer the best products we can in furniture and décor to grace people’s homes and make them feel good, that’s a big plus point during a lockdown,” says Briggs. “For us it’s now business as usual, but just in a slightly unusual way!”
