The Cotswolds farm shop charging £100 for a wicker BASKET: Owners of Daylesford Organic warn Brits aren't spending enough... but shoppers say their prices are 'ludicrous'
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.
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.
