What makes this XXL straw shoulder basket special
Rolled leather handles are comfortable in the hand and soft on the shoulder. A small leather logo tag inside marks it as a Green Doum piece.
Handwoven in Morocco from doum palm and genuine leather
Every XXL straw shoulder basket is handmade in Morocco by local artisans from natural raw materials. The palm is woven by hand and finished with genuine leather details, so small differences in shade and shape are part of the charm. Our story goes back to 1962.
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 XXL straw shoulder basket measures 40 × 25 × 50 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.
This listing is the XXL size. The same style is also available in size XL: Straw Shoulder Basket with Leather Handle – XL.
How to use your XXL straw shoulder basket
The XXL straw shoulder basket 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.
Wear this piece 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.
How to care for it
To clean the XXL straw shoulder basket, brush off dust with a soft brush and wipe it with a lightly damp cloth. Let it dry naturally, away from direct sun and heaters. A little leather conditioner now and then keeps the leather supple.
