What makes this wild palm leaf tote basket special

It is woven from wild palm leaf, a looser and more rustic weave than our classic doum pieces, so every item shows its own texture. The deep, open tote shape takes bulky things easily.

Handwoven in Morocco from wild palm leaf and genuine leather

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

Wild palm leaf is another traditional material of Moroccan basketry. Woven loosely, it gives a textured, rustic surface that is different on every piece, with leather added 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 wild palm leaf tote basket measures 35 × 20 × 34 cm (length × width × height). The generous depth gives you room for bulkier items.

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 wild palm leaf tote basket

Use the wild palm leaf tote basket for shopping, picnics or travel days. The looser wild-palm weave gives it a casual character that goes with sandals and summer clothes.

This piece suits relaxed, natural looks: holidays, beach towns and weekend markets. The rustic texture works well with linen and cotton in neutral colors.

How to care for it

Avoid soaking the palm weave of your wild palm leaf tote basket. 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.
