Cherry blossom coat hooks

Friday, August 7th, 2009
Dainty cherry blossom hooks

Dainty cherry blossom hooks

Designed to resemble dainty cherry blossom flowers, this white row of hooks would provide a distinctive way of hanging up your coat.

Made from powder coated steel, the cherry blossom hooks come in white and can be used either vertically or horizontally on the wall.

We think they’re a bit too nice to be covered up by a load of coats, so alternatively you could have them on a bedroom wall for decorative purposes or use the hooks to hang your necklaces or bracelets on.

The cherry blossom hooks seem like good value – £12 from Rockett St George.
