Remember me
The wife of billionaire digger boss and Tory 'super-donor' Lord Bamford has raised concerns that wealthy shoppers may be tightening their belts.
Lady Carole Bamford's luxury farm shop - a firm favourite of the 'Chipping Norton' set - sells products such as watering cans, aprons and wicker baskets for upwards of £100.
But Daylesford Organic has warned that its biggest threat is 'consumer spending remaining under pressure' amid Britain's 'uncertain economic environment'.
The flagship artisanal store situated on 3,500 acres of farmland in the Cotswolds is the crown jewel of Lady B's homeware and hospitality empire.
Equipped with its own Michelin restaurant, culinary school, juice bar, butchers, cheese cellar, homeware studio and members club, the store oozes opulence.
And while customers would expect to pay a premium, the Daily Mail found ordinary household items on sale for nearly £1,000.
They included a scarf for £995, a watering can for £135, an apron for £145, miniature dog coat for £125 and a wicker basket for £175.
Despite the eye-watering prices and Lady Bamford's warning, the store was heaving, with customers willing to spend £15 on a glass of kombucha.

'Some things are very reasonable and then they have ludicrous things,' Kate Molloy said.
'I have just bought a bar of chocolate for £6.50. The meat quality is excellent it is a lot more than the supermarket though.
'It's the weird things that are novelties tourists buy that are too expensive and pointless.
'I think she needs to get back to basics and forget the silly fancy stuff.
'She can be a divisive figure in this area but I happen to be a Lady B fan everything she does she makes things better.
'I think she elevates everything but some people are fed up but I'm quite pleased when I hear she's buying and old pub and it's put my property up.'
Lady Bamford, who famously let close friend Boris Johnson move into her £20million London pad after he stepped down as Prime Minister, is a divisive figure in the Cotswolds.
Her company owns four pubs and 32 holiday cottages in the area and in August last year, a scheme was approved to revitalise the dilapidated Mill House Hotel in Kingham.

As her property collection is expanding at pace, locals have become fed-up dubbing their once quaint village as 'Bamfordshire'.
Indeed it seems her empire has attracted visitors from across the country with many incorporating Daylesford Organic into their holidays.
Maria Dracos said it's the 'treat' element that encouraged her to visit the store.
She said: 'We came for two days so we're passing through it's a high end treat shop not an everyday average shopping trip.
'We got organic meat and jams and cheese if money was no object I would be here all the time it's quality food.
'But if Lady B is expecting average people to shop here she's expecting too much.'
JD Vance was hosted at the store during his visit to the area last year accompanied by a massive motorcade made up of 18 vehicles.
The US Vice President was shown around the store by Lord Bamford and it was believed he staying in the shop for around three hours.

Smaller iterations of the store can be found in London's most affluent neighbourhoods, where shoppers are happy to spend £10.50 on a small jar of jam and £4.25 on curry powder.
In the latest financial year, the company made a pre-tax profit of £1.3million and seen a huge demand for their homeware gifts.
John Clark, who was visiting with his wife thought the store was 'fantastic'.
He said: 'I think you get what you pay for it's top end but that's the point you don't go to Harrods because it's cheaper to, you go because it's an experience.'
Lady B founded Daylesford and its sister company Bamford, a skincare and wellness brand that is stocked at the flagship store.
She is considered a pioneer of organic farming having converted four of the family's farms into adopting organic methods in the 1970s.
The expanding property empire comes in addition to the Bamfords' primary residence, which is Daylesford House, a Grade I-listed Georgian country house found on an estate next to their beloved farm shop.
It's here that Lord Bamford, one of the purported Tory 'super-donors', and his wife host lavish parties.

Lord Bamford has gifted tens of millions to the Tories over the last decade, with both him and his wife being particularly generous to close friend Boris Johnson.
The former Prime Minister was sent daily deliveries of Daylesford Organic ready meals, heated up and served to him by a personal Daylesford chef during the pandemic.
He came under fire as it emerged he and Carrie had £27,000 of luxury food delivered to No 10. The Daylesford dishes, rich in iron, protein and vitamins, were designed to revive Mr Johnson's energy levels after his brush with death after contracting Covid.
Codenames were used for the then PM and Lady B who organised daily deliveries to the No 10 back door.
The food was smuggled in after being dropped off by a butler on one of London's rented 'Boris bikes'.
The Bamfords also paid for Johnson and Carrie Symonds' wedding and hosted it on the Daylesford estate before giving the married couple access to Lady B's £20million mansion in Knightsbridge, on top of another of the cottages.
