Wicker Shoulder Basket with Flat Leather Handle – XL

Description

The XL wicker shoulder basket is a handwoven Moroccan piece made from doum palm and genuine leather, with a flat leather handle.

What makes this XL wicker shoulder basket special

Flat leather handles spread the load, so they stay comfortable even when it is full. 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 XL wicker shoulder basket measures 32 × 18 × 40 cm (length × width × height). At that height it takes tall items upright.

How to use your XL wicker shoulder basket

Wear the XL wicker shoulder basket on the shoulder for market shopping, a picnic or a summer day out. It carries more than a handbag and looks good with linen, cotton and denim.

This piece works as a statement summer bag. Use it for the market, a day trip or the beach, and enjoy a natural look that goes with almost everything.

How to care for it

Avoid soaking the palm weave of your XL wicker shoulder 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.
