My partner and I have very different ideas of holidays. I like one with an itinerary full of wine bars, outfit changes, and an antique store to sift through. He, on the other hand, would be happy with one change of clothes, no reception, and a mountain to summit. Safe to say, I'm not super outdoors-y, but HAY's new 'Market Bag' collaboration with Jasper Morrison (available at Selfridges) may have convinced me that I could like the look of a camping trip — or better yet, getting a similar experience in the safety of my own backyard.
Because all that being said, I do enjoy the drama of cooking over an open flame, and I do like the polish of steel dinnerware, not to mention the practicality of fold-away outdoor furniture. So, even if I'm not planning a remote getaway anytime soon, there is still so much I can enjoy about the curated collection designed to enrich life spent outdoors. Always wanted an outdoor kitchen? This is your cheapest way in.
