Wicker Basket with Double Leather Handles

Description

Our wicker basket with leather handles is made from doum palm and genuine leather and finished by skilled Moroccan hands, with two leather handles.

A wicker-style basket with two leather handles for hand or arm carry, in the same practical 30 × 16 × 32 cm shape as our other beach baskets.

What makes this wicker basket with leather handles special

Two handles give you a balanced carry and let you choose hand or arm. It is woven by hand, so the texture of the palm is slightly different on every piece.

Handwoven in Morocco from doum palm and genuine leather

Moroccan craftsmanship connects the past and the present, and this piece is a small example. It is made from doum palm and genuine leather, the kind of natural materials the Green Doum family has worked with since 1962. Learn more about our family business.

Doum palm is one of the traditional raw materials of Moroccan craftsmanship, alongside date palm leaves and rush. It weaves into a light, natural-looking fabric, and the leather adds strength where the piece is handled.

Weaving baskets from plant fibres is one of the oldest crafts in the world and is found in many cultures; for a general overview, see this page on basket weaving.

The leather is genuine leather: it softens and darkens naturally with use, so your piece gains character over time.

Sizes, colors and fit

The wicker basket with leather handles measures 30 × 16 × 32 cm (length × width × height). That makes it a practical everyday size. It is listed as size L.

Colors available: Brown, Camel and Natural. The straw stays natural while the leather sets the tone, from warm brown to light natural.

How to use your wicker basket with leather handles

Take the wicker basket with leather handles to the beach or the pool: towels, sunscreen, a book and a bottle of water all fit. The natural palm looks at home on the sand.

Use this piece for beach days, picnics or swimming trips. It is light to carry, and the natural palm and leather look good at the sea and in town.

How to care for it

Avoid soaking the palm weave of your wicker basket with leather handles. If it gets wet, shake off the water, shape it by hand and dry it flat in the shade. When you are not using it, stuff it lightly with paper and store it away from damp.
