I absolutely love this wonderfully simple, traditional woven basket. Practical, beautiful and made from natural materials, it is the sort of everyday piece that only seems to get better with use.
Handwoven from natural palm leaves, this generously sized market basket is finished with long, flat brown leather handles, giving a lovely contrast to the texture of the weave.
And it really is useful. Take it to the farmers' market, fill it with towels for a day at the beach, pack it for a picnic or simply use it as an everyday tote. At home, I can equally imagine it filled with magazines, knitting or a casually folded throw.
Designed to be used again and again, it is a lovely alternative to disposable shopping bags — something practical enough to earn its place in everyday life, while still being beautiful enough that you won't want to hide it away.
As each basket is woven from natural palm leaves, small variations in colour, texture, shape and weave are to be expected. They are part of the character of a handmade piece and mean that no two will be exactly alike.
